http://takeandbake.net/12-foods-that-sabotage-sleep/2/
Celery
Tomatoes
Tomatoes are rich in tyramine, an amino acid that triggers the brain to release norepinephrine, a stimulant that boosts brain activity and delays sleep. Other tyramine-rich foods include eggplant, soy sauce, red wine and aged cheeses, such as brie and Stilton.
Cheese Pizza
Alcohol
Although a nightcap or a glass of wine before bed may help you doze off quicker, it disrupts sleep later in the night and robs you of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Lack of REM sleep harms concentration, memory and motor skills.
Countdown to bedtime: 2 to 4 hours
Black-bean chili
The body has a hard time digesting beans,
Dark chocolate
Dark chocolate (though not white chocolate), hot cocoa and tea all contain caffeine
Countdown to bedtime: 4 to 6 hours
Gumdrops
Tacos
Steak
Carbonated soft drinks
Dagwood sandwich
Broccoli
Countdown to bedtime: Have it for lunch instead
