Five nighttime mistakes that damage sleep and health

1. Drinking “hidden” fluids before bed

Many people stop drinking water in the evening but continue consuming liquids through soups, herbal teas, juicy fruits like watermelon or melon, or even desserts.

What’s rarely mentioned is that foods such as chamomile, cucumber, and celery act as natural diuretics, increasing urine production.

What helps:

Set a “fluid cutoff” at least three hours before bedtime. This includes water, teas, and foods with high water content.

2. Eating dinner too late
