7. Cereals

7.燕麦

Cereals are typically eaten during breakfast but some folks enjoy making snacks out of them throughout the day. Pairing them with milk in the evening is said to promote sleep, especially since milk has some protein and tryptophan. But this sleep-inducing effect depends largely on what kind of cereal you are eating before going to bed. Majority of the cereals available in the market today have excess amounts of sugar.

燕麦是很典型的早餐食物，但是也有一些人喜欢在一天中把它当零食吃。据说燕麦和牛奶一起搭配着吃有助于睡眠，因为牛奶里含有一些蛋白质和色氨酸。但是这种助眠的效果很大程度上取决于睡前你吃的是哪种类型的燕麦。现在很多市场上能够买到的燕麦都含有过多的糖。

The main reason why cereals are recommended for encouraging sleep is because it is a high-carbohydrate food. Carbohydrates are quite easy to digest so it doesn’t take much toll on your body during sleep. And because they are paired with milk, a food highly acclaimed for its benefits with regards to sleep, it is no wonder that some people would eat a bowl of cereal at night. Eating cereals rich in sugar unfortunately cancels these beneficial effects.

睡前推荐大家吃燕麦，一个重要原因是燕麦是富含碳水化合物的食物。碳水化合物非常易消化，睡觉时不会消耗太多能量。因为燕麦通常跟牛奶一起食用，而牛奶又是很利于睡眠的食物，所以很多人都在晚上会吃一碗燕麦。但如果你吃的是含糖过多燕麦种类的话，那它就完全失去了助眠的效果了。
