Cruciferous vegetables -
Vegetables such as cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, etc are generally very good for our health but it is not good to have it before you go to bed as it could lead to digestive troubles. And because of these troubles, you will end up staying up the whole night. The best time to eat these veggies is in the day time because if you eat these vegies in the day time it would be digested till night or before you lay down in your bed.
Cured Meat and cheeses -
Cured Meat and cheeses are a great choice to have in your breakfast or in your lunch. But you should avoid eating these in your dinner because meat contains high protein and cheese have amino acid tyramine which makes you alert.

having a bowl of ice cream before sleeping will make you more active. Also, like other fatty things, icecream may also take some time to be digested and your body won’t be able to rest well and because it’s still digesting food.
