People Need to Be Careful About Drinking These Drinks Before Going to Bed
What you drink in the hours leading up to bedtime can have a bigger impact on your sleep than you might expect. While many people focus on bedtime routines or screen time, certain common drinks can quietly interfere with rest—leaving you tossing, turning, or waking up feeling unrested.
Here are some drinks people should be especially careful with before going to bed, and why timing matters.
1. Caffeinated Beverages
Coffee is the obvious culprit, but it’s far from the only one. Tea (especially black and green), energy drinks, some sodas, and even certain flavored waters contain caffeine.
Caffeine stimulates the nervous system and can stay in the body for six to eight hours—or longer for some people. Even small amounts in the evening may reduce deep sleep, increase nighttime awakenings, and make it harder to fall asleep.
Tip: If you’re sensitive to caffeine, try to stop consuming it by early afternoon.
2. Alcohol
Although alcohol can make you feel sleepy at first, it often disrupts sleep later in the night. It interferes with REM sleep, increases the likelihood of waking up, and can worsen snoring or sleep apnea.
Many people fall asleep faster after drinking but wake up feeling tired and foggy the next day.
Tip: If you drink alcohol, do so earlier in the evening and stay hydrated with water.
3. Sugary Drinks
Sodas, sweetened juices, sports drinks, and sweet teas can cause blood sugar spikes right before bed. These spikes may lead to restlessness, vivid dreams, or waking up during the night.
Excess sugar can also increase energy levels when your body should be winding down.
Tip: Choose low-sugar or unsweetened options in the evening.
