The ultimate sleep horrible diet<\/h2>\n

What if we didn\u2019t need sleep? What if there was a cure for sleep and we could power through our days uninterrupted, blissfully healthy? Look around your life and we\u2019re betting you know some people who think they\u2019ve found the magic formula to no longer needing sleep. They brag about the projects they drill down on while the rest of us snooze \u2013 and swallow their yawns with another sip of espresso.<\/p>\n

Want to know their secret? They\u2019ve discovered a surreptitious list of foods that keep their need to sleep at bay. Noshing on these foods from sun up to sun down, these energized folks power through their days like the crew from Fast & Furious.<\/p>\n

If you want to join the ranks of those-who-must-not-sleep, belly up to the bar \u2013 we\u2019ve got what you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n

\"coffee1. Coffee.<\/strong> This shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise. We crave it. We guzzle it. Drinking coffee<\/a> makes us feel good \u2014 better able to handle an overbearing boss or an unruly pack of toddlers. But then… we feel guilty about it, suspecting that sooner or later, it’s going to do us in. If tripping the lights fantastic while your family sleeps is on your agenda, consider making coffee<\/a> your main source of hydration.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bacon2. Bacon<\/strong>. If you love bacon, break out the fry pans and fire up the stove. Foods containing tyramine (bacon, cheese, ham, pepperoni, raspberries avocado, nuts, soy sauce, red wine) trigger the release of norepinephrine, a brain stimulant. Go ahead and order that double-cheese-pepperoni-ham-bacon pizza and party all night long<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"alcohol3. Wine, beer and all adult beverages<\/strong>. Don\u2019t let your nightly nightcap fool you into thinking you\u2019ll be lulled to sleep. While alcohol is a sedative<\/a>, your body metabolizes it at lightning speed, which can leave you dehydrated and tossing and turning throughout the night. If powering through the night is your goal, don\u2019t stop 2 hours before you hope to sleep<\/a> \u2013 like your lightweight need-to-sleep buddies.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"nicotine4. Nicotine<\/strong>. If smoking is your guilty pleasure, you\u2019re in luck. Nicotine is a stimulant, which means it\u2019s engineered to keep you wired and on the edge of your seat. Don\u2019t trouble yourself about heart disease<\/a> or the other health concerns associated with smoking<\/a> \u2013 they won\u2019t interfere with your not-gonna-sleep-anymore goals.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"spicy5. Spicy anything<\/strong>. If your taste buds live on the wild side of spicy, get ready to get happy. Spicy food can cause heartburn, a backflow of food particles and acid from the stomach into the esophagus. Load up on the nachos and wings and don\u2019t skimp on the hot sauce. Feel the burn, baby.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"chocolate6. Chocolate<\/strong>. Go ahead and indulge your sweet tooth, especially if you crave dark chocolate. All chocolate (even milk chocolate) contains caffeine. The darker the chocolate, the more caffeine \u2013 as much as 35% the amount of caffeine found in your average cup of joe. Sweet, right?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"steak7. Steak<\/strong>. Fatty foods might raise your cholesterol and increase your risk for obesity but fatty foods high in protein, like steak, are delish sleep stealers<\/a> too. They take a long time (and a lot of effort to digest), which keeps your body working hard long after you\u2019ve enjoyed them. Even better, high-fat, high-protein diets have also been linked to sleep apnea.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"softAny liquid<\/strong>. Have a penchant for soda in the evening? Can\u2019t stop chugging water? Go ahead and let your cup runneth over \u2013 the more you drink, the more you\u2019ll wake up your bladder. And we all know how a wide-awake-bladder can keep the rest of your body up. All. Night. Long.<\/p>\n
