WHAT?!?!?!?! WINE?!?!?!!?!? Crap...

Cherries Best
Cherries are one of the few natural foods to contain melatonin, the chemical   that helps control our body’s internal clock. One study—albeit a small one—found   that drinking tart cherry juice resulted in small improvements in sleep duration   and quality in adults who suffered from chronic insomnia.

Bacon Cheeseburger Worst
The stratospheric fat content of this particular fast food is guaranteed   to be a sleep killer. Fat stimulates the production of acid in the stomach,   which can spill up into your esophagus, causing heartburn. Fatty foods can also   loosen the lower esophageal sphincter, the barrier between the stomach and the   esophagus, making it even easier for acid to get in all the wrong places. In   fact, there’s almost nothing to recommend this kind of high-fat, salt-laden   indulgence if you want to preserve your health, including the quality of your   sleep.

Milk Best
You may have fond memories of your mother or grandmother making you a   glass of warm milk to help you fall asleep. This may not be just an old wives’   tale. Milk contains the amino acid tryptophan, a precursor to the brain chemical   serotonin. Although the topic is a controversial one, some people believe that   tryptophan and serotonin might make it easier to sleep. Or maybe a simple glass   of milk brings back soothing childhood memories, which help you drift off.

Wine Worst
Alcohol of any kind is “terrible” for sleep. Why? It metabolizes quickly   in your system and causes you to wake up multiple times during the night. One   study found that a glass of bourbon or vodka mixed with caffeine-free soda at   bedtime increased the amount of time women spent awake during the night by 15   minutes. It also reduced nightly sleep time by 19 minutes and diminished quality   of sleep.

Jasmine Rice Best
Jasmine rice ranks high on the glycemic index, meaning the body digests   it slowly, releasing glucose gradually into the bloodstream. A 2007 study in   the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" found that consuming jasmine rice   four hours before bedtime cut the amount of time it took to fall asleep in half   when compared with eating a high-glycemic-index meal at the same time interval.

Coffee Worst
Coffee contains caffeine, which is a central nervous stimulant. Translation:   Drinking Java too close to bedtime will keep you up at night. Of course, people   differ in their sensitivity to caffeine and that’s usually based on how much   caffeine you’re accustomed to consuming.

Fortified Cereal Best
Carbs in general are good for sleep but it’s not a great idea to binge   on a box of cookies before bedtime (or anytime). Instead, try a bowl of Kashi   or shredded wheat which contain “good” or complex carbs. Even better, cereal   goes well with milk which has its own sleep-promoting qualities. “

Dark Chocolate Worst
Chocolate contains not only calories, but caffeine, especially dark chocolate.   A 1.55-ounce Hershey’s milk chocolate bar, for instance, contains about 12 milligrams   of caffeine, or the same amount as three cups of decaffeinated coffee. A Hershey’s   special-dark bar has 20 milligrams of caffeine, about the same as half an ounce   of espresso. Chocolate also contains theobromine, another stimulant that can   increase heart rate and sleeplessness.
