Part 5: Bedtime Pitfalls to Avoid

Even healthy snacks can disrupt sleep if consumed improperly before bed:

• Overeating Heavy Fats: Pumpkin seeds are high in healthy fats; consuming large quantities right before sleep can cause acid reflux or indigestion when you lie flat.
• Choosing High-Sugar Flavored Seeds: Avoid candied or heavily glazed pumpkin seeds, as added sugars cause blood sugar crashes that disrupt deep sleep.
• Relying Solely on Snacks for Chronic Insomnia: While nutritious, pumpkin seeds cannot replace good sleep hygiene or address severe medical sleep disorders like sleep apnea.
