PastaWhen you’re ready to settle down and go to sleep you want to stomach to settle down as well. But if you eat a big bowl of pasta before going to bed, it’s going to be extremely hard for your stomach to settle down. Pasta is pure carbohydrates and those starches will mess with your blood sugar level, making it difficult to fall asleep. Most of those carbs, along with the oil, cheese and heavy sauce, will also turn to fat if eaten before bedtime.
