* Sauerkraut, eggplant, wine, sausage, smoked bacon, cheese are foods that can disturb sleep because they stimulate the release of tyramine and other brain stimulants.
* Prepared or precooked foods, in addition to unhealthy, are full of monosodium glutamate that can sometimes cause hyperstimulation reactions.
* The carbohydrates and refined sugars contained in different baked goods (cookies, baguettes, pasta, bread, donuts, etc.) are difficult to digest and, therefore, are not indicated to be consumed during the night hours.
