2. Spicy food
Food and meal time will also affect our rest at night.
After testing a group of healthy men, they were asked to eat spicy food before going to bed at some nights, and their sleep quality was compared with those who did not eat spicy food.

The way to get rid of nightmares
1, try not to catch up on sleep.
If you can't go back to sleep after waking up at night 15 minutes, you can listen to your favorite music and turn off the music when you are sleepy. Remember: whether you sleep well at night or not, get up on time the next morning. Even on weekends, you shouldn't try to catch up on sleep because it won't help you overcome insomnia.
Don't drink coffee or smoke before going to bed.
Coffee, Coca Cola and chocolate all contain exciting caffeine, so don't drink or eat these things before going to bed. In addition, smoking is also easy to make people excited, so we must get rid of the habit of smoking before going to bed.
3. Don't drink before going to bed
Some people like to drink some wine before going to bed in order to relax themselves, thinking that it can help them sleep, but this is actually wrong. You know, alcohol can inhibit your central nervous system and ruin your sleep. After a few hours, you will wake up with a headache because of the stimulation of alcohol. It's harmful to your health in the long run.
4. Develop the habit of stopping thinking before going to bed.
Listen to euphemistic music before going to bed or learn to listen to the sounds of nature, such as rain and insects. Listening to natural methods will be a bit difficult at first, but you can learn it as long as you persist.
