  Amidst our super stressful lives, we give up on sleep almost easily. Most of the research surrounding sleep and diet indicates that less sleep can affect our food judgment and increase hunger pangs. Besides the obvious, your dinner decisions can also leave you wide-eyed. If you find it hard to switch-off at night, here are seven sleep stealers you should immediately break up with.

Although it contains only a small amount of caffeine, it is enough to trigger the nervous system, heart and muscle functions by encouraging the release of certain chemicals in the brain called 'neurotransmitters'. It's better to cut off all forms of caffeine like chocolate, cola, tea and even decaffeinated coffee from your diet at least four to six hours before hitting the sack. Also, consuming too much fluid increases the frequency of washroom breaks at night!
