Are you one of those busy professional people with at least ten number one priorities? If you are overly active with a busy work schedule you most likely are also experiencing trouble sleeping.

Many foods contain ingredients and other genetically altered chemicals which will affect your personal sleep balance.
If you suspect food is a reason for not getting good sleep, then a good way to test it is to try altering your food selection for at least one day.
Simply keep keep a journal of what you consume including all drinks, then note any changes in your nightly sleep pattern as a direct result.
Below you will find a discussion of five food issues that are known to cause problems and discomfort during sleep.
1.
Binge Drinking.
Just because you passed out from over drinking does not mean you got a good night sleep.
You need to watch the sauce if you want to have better sleep patterns.
2.
Caffeine and food that contains it.
It is a good idea to limit your intake of this stimulant especially prior to going to sleep.
You may wish to cut this out or consume very little for a few days to experiment with the result it has on your sleep.
As a general rule try to avoid or regulate things like coffee, tea, soda and even chocolate while you are attempting to improve your night time rest.
3.
Over eating.
This is an easy to identify well known problem for people who suddenly experience sleep issues when they do not normally have any problems.
The stomach will encounter difficulty when trying to digest what a person has overeaten.
Over eating on a consistent basis may cause medical conditions like ulcers as it tends to change how the digestive system compensates for the overflow of food.
4.
Fatty Food.
To much fat in your food causes a lot of extra work for your stomach to digest and is a common problem for people that do not sleep well.
Help your stomach out and get more sleep by reducing fatty and overly rich food prior to bedtime.
5.
Acidic and Spicy Food.
This should be a no brain-er.
If you eat too much of this stuff you should plan on a poor night of sleep.
Spicy or acidic food will lead to stomach trouble, heartburn, and gas which means not only will you not get any sleep neither will anyone next to you.
