About this session
Food does not act like a sleeping pill, but the timing, quantity and overall pattern of what people eat and drink can influence how comfortable, alert or settled they feel at bedtime.
Large late meals, hunger, reflux, caffeine and alcohol can all affect the ability to fall asleep or remain asleep, while poor sleep can make regular meals and balanced food choices harder the following day.
This session starts with the practical decisions employees face during ordinary working weeks: when to eat dinner after a long commute, how to use caffeine without carrying its effects into the night, what to do when hunger appears before bed and how to manage food routines around shifts, travel or unpredictable schedules.
Participants then explore the essential science behind nutrition and sleep without overstating the evidence for particular foods or supplements.
Research suggests that overall dietary patterns may be more meaningful than searching for one perfect sleep-promoting ingredient, and many claims about individual foods still require stronger evidence.
