Some sleep problems may be instigated by a poor diet, a nutrition expert has said. Sara Stanner, in a Daily Telegraph article, said consuming a big meal before bedtime will have a negative influence on routines. The advice includes trying a more modest sized dinner about two two to three hours before going to bed, giving a person time to digest their food. She explained: "If you are hungry later on, opt for a light snack such as cheese and crackers, yoghurt or warm milk." She also said caffeine can also prevent people from getting decent sleep, so avoiding food and drinks high in it could be a good idea towards the end of the day. Saint George's School in Rhode Island has produced research suggesting giving children just an extra half an hour in bed can significantly influence productivity.
