The Impact of Late-Night Snacking on Sleep, According to a Doctor

Late-night eating has been linked to higher rates of obesity, affecting hunger levels, calorie burning, and fat storage. Naturopathic doctor Janine Bowring recommends three foods for late-night snacking: a small handful of nuts (such as almonds, macadamia nuts, or hazelnuts) for protein and satiating fat, seeds (like tahini or sunflower seeds) for minerals and sleep support, and "golden milk" (a blend of plant-based milk, turmeric, and spices) for a good night's sleep and anti-inflammatory benefits.
