Read More »This Easter, you may have more reasons than usual to treat yourself or your loved ones to some chocolate eggs. Not only could we all do with a pick-me-up after what has been a mentally and physically draining year for many but eating or drinking chocolate could actually be better for our sleep health than originally thought. If you're partial to a square or two of an evening or if you're looking for ways to sleep more soundly at night, we have some good news to share about the effects of chocolate on our sleep quality.

Read More »Realistically though, a few squares of your favourite chocolate, whether dark, milk, or white, probably does not contain enough stimulants to keep you awake all night. On average a bar of dark chocolate contains roughly around 10 milligrams of caffeine, which is about the same as a cup of decaf coffee, and other types of chocolate will contain less (Pregnancy Food Checker). So, rather than worry, it's better to just enjoy your favourite chocolate before bed — in moderation. "While it's true that chocolate contains a few things we'd best avoid before bed — namely sugar and caffeine — the psychological effect it can have outweighs how many stimulants are in it. A cup of hot cocoa or a few delicious squares can help us wind down in the evening and may even have soporific effects, but if you're still worried about consuming stimulants too close to bedtime, it's good to know that just the smell of chocolate can be enough to make us feel calm. "Sleep quality is important for our mental wellbeing and physical health, affecting everything from our mood to our appetite and even things like our blood pressure. Everyone is different, so I always recommend starting a sleep diary that keeps track of what you eat, drink, and do before bed and how well you sleep afterwards. This should help you identify potential disruptors, and you'll know for sure if eating chocolate in the evening is right for you," said Phil Lawlor, ‘Sleep Expert’ at bedding company, Dormeo.
