Fourty Winks is key to being sassy

We’ve all been there. You have a big morning ahead of you and you can’t sleep. UGH! You spend hours upon hours staring at the clock only to get yourself all riled up. There are some things you can do to help yourself get your beauty sleep.
What you decide to eat before bed is just important as what you eat for breakfast. What you eat determines how well you are able to sleep. The food you choose to eat can even cure restlessness! Tomorrow you’ll want to be at your sassiest so I’m here to share some tips with you. Scientists haven’t proven that eating before bed causes weight gain but common sense says that if you shouldn’t just eat and lay there, your thighs may not thank you later. Remember it’s only supposed to be a snack! Treat what you eat as such!
So what should you eat?
Whole grains with protein, dairy foods, oats, bananas, poultry and peanuts.
·   A small bowl of oatmeal or cereal with low-fat milk
·   Yogurt with granola sprinkled on top
·   Half bagel or crackers with peanut butter, 1 ounce of cheese or a slice of deli turkey on top
·   Hummus on a whole-wheat pita or a rice cake topped with tomato and a slice of turkey breast
·   Sliced apple with 1 ounce of cheese

Watch out if you have trouble sleeping that may your body’s way of telling you that you have problems bigger than those bags under your eyes….go see a doctor!
