Many of us know to avoid having caffeine before bedtime as it can prevent us from falling asleep but there is another highly consumed drink that may be to blame for poor sleeping patterns.
When it comes to getting a proper night's sleep, there are many things we are told to try to ensure we get our beauty slumber. Some experts claim that eating kiwis before bed or having the window open can help you fall asleep faster.
Sleep experts at Bed Kingdom have revealed that potential causes of insomnia include drinking alcohol and nicotine consumption. The sleep experts explained: "While alcohol can often make you fall asleep faster, drinking it close to bedtime can cause fragmented sleep and can be the cause of frequent waking throughout the night.
Studies have also shown that consuming nicotine before sleeping can keep us awake because it impacts the body's ability to fall and stay asleep. The experts explained: "Caffeine works by blocking the effects of adenosine, a neurotransmitter that naturally builds up in the body during the day and creates pressure to sleep."
