• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

Certain foods or drinks that affects sleep

The 3rd Tuesday of every month we go to a cheese club with a couple of friends, great fun and a few drinks, sleeping can be difficult, could be the cheese, could be the wine, could be both.
 
I have great difficulties falling asleep every night, I normally lay in bed for at least an hour. I've never thought about keeping a food diary of what I eat in the evening though, maybe I should try that. I've heard it's best to eat around 7pm the latest anyway but that's a hard rule to keep considering most people finish work around 6...

I sometimes have a spoon of honey before bed, as I've heard it helps you relax.
 
Nothing seems to bother me. Even Colada doesn't stop me from sleeping.

I'm the same - although occasionally I wake in the early hours and it takes a while to get back to sleep. I eat very late at night normally (after 10.30 pm) but I can't say that anything I eat makes a jot of difference.
