Spicy nachos are not the best snack before bedtime. Folklore says spicy food before bed messes up sleep and could even trigger nightmares. Research agrees — an evening spicy meal can aftereffect in poor-quality sleep. Oh great. I’m in dire need of a solid night’s sleep and I just drizzled my taco salad with hot sauce.

A past study compared the sleep patterns of young men after eating meals with Tabasco sauce and mustard before bed with a spice-free control group. The Spice Boys spent less moment in Stages 2-4 sleep, which equates to less sleep and a longer day nodding off.

Their elevated body temperatures may have been to blame.

No Tabasco with your warm milk tonight, got it?
