Can't sleep when I eat pizza for Dinner? - Sleep Disorders Message Board

I notice that whenever I have pizza for dinner, I can not sleep very well that night. I go to bed at 11pm, and if I had pizza for dinner, I wont be able to fall asleep till 1am. I would just lie in my bed doing nothing. Does anyone else experience this, difficulty sleeping when having pizza for dinner?>

I know it sounds wierd, but this is what happens to me. I guess its not really a disorder, but just want to know if anyone else experiences this?

lol. sorry. I've never had any sleep disorders related to pizza. if I had to guess I'd say one night when you ate pizza, you had insomnia. for some reason you figured the insomnia was caused by the pizza, so next time you ate pizza you were stressed about not sleeping - as a result of this anxiety you can't sleep every time you eat pizza. or, maybe pizzaa just gives you insomnia.

. don't eat it too close to bedtime, and just don't eat too much. over eating before bedtime makes your digestive system work overtime, which keeps you awake.
