What Are People Wearing To Bed…It Might Surprise You

We tend to be a nosey society, so here we go! What are most people wearing to bed? If you follow Reddit, you might be surprised!

The Mike & Carla Morning Show had no problem invading listener's private space this morning in asking the question. Following stats after a poll on Reddit, you really might be surprised. Come to find out that 14% end up sleeping in whatever they wore that day!

Can you imagine that? Just falling into bed and spending the night in whatever you wore to work? Oh sure, some people might do that because they're that tired or even just pass out. But keep in mind, for those people that work in an office, for men and woman, it could very well be a business suit!

Delving a bit deeper into the subject, according to the same poll, 14% also said they sleep in the buff! Now pajamas was the #1 answer when posed the question, but listeners called in to tell The M&C Morning Show what they actually wore to sleep in.

Here's a shocker, one woman said that no matter if it's a nap or heading in for the night, she has to strip down to something more comfortable than the clothes she had on all day. Even Carla Rea concurred that she will at least drop the pants if just taking a nap even if it's on the couch!

Mike O'Brian didn't come clean on what he wears, but did admit when in bed, one leg has to be outside the covers! Other agreed with Mike...it must be a thing!

Underwear was another popular answer for a few...including the "tightie-whities"! The old fashion BVD's! Always a good choice...if for nothing else, one reason being that Carla quite eloquently pointed out!

All in all, quite the topic this morning that you should actually enjoy! And thanks for listening!

What should you eat when you have the bedtime munchies?

It's late at night and you're ready to hit the rack, but you're still a little hungry. You open the fridge and you mutter to yourself: "There's nothing good to eat in here." So, you grab a bag of delicious salty potato chips or pretzels, and you take care of your bedtime munchies.

If that's the case, then get ready for a restless night in bed, tossing and turning, getting more and more frustrated as you watch the clock tick towards the time that your alarm is set to go off.

There are foods and beverages you should really avoid when you have the bedtime munchies. I found an article written by Erica Sweeney on HuffPost.com which lists some of those items you want to stay away from.

Of course, drinking caffeinated beverages within 2-3 hours before bed is a big no-no. But, did you know that sipping on a glass of wine before bed is also something to avoid? Sure, you may fall asleep quickly, but once the effects of the alcohol wear off, you will end up with an interrupted sleep pattern. Who knew?!?

Oh man, how about a nice cup or bowl of your favorite ice cream before bed? Even if you don't have a problem digesting dairy, those types of creamy desserts contain lots of saturated fat, which experts believe causes "lighter and less restorative sleep." Avoid dairy late at night if you can.

In fact, you will want to avoid all sugary and salty snacks late at night. Sure, they cure those bedtime munchies, but they are high in processed sugar and complex carbohydrates which will cause a spike in your blood sugar and make it very difficult to get a good night's sleep.

Finally, you will want to avoid eating spicy foods before bedtime. As you may have noticed if you've eaten spicy foods within 3-4 hours of your bedtime, they can cause indigestion and acid reflux. That makes for a really rough night. Even if the spicy foods don't upset your digestive process, researchers believe that the main ingredient in spicy foods - Capsaicin - raises your body temperature. Higher body temperature leads to a restless night in bed.

So what should you snack on when you have the bedtime munchies? Scroll down and see what the experts in Sweeney's article recommend.

This is a tough one, especially late at night. Are you really going to steam some broccoli? Never. But, maybe grabbing some raw carrots or celery will cure those bedtime munchies without disrupting your sleep pattern.

As long as dairy products do not upset your stomach, this is a great late night choice for snacking. Mix the yogurt with some berries or granola, and you're munching on simple carbs and leaner protein and fat. Pretty tasty too!

Always a sweet and tasty choice for a late night snack. The natural sugars in fruit should not upset your sleep patterns as much as munching on candy or other food items filled with processed cane sugar. Mix some of these fruits with the Greek yogurt and make it a meal!

Yum! I love peanut butter. I really love peanut butter and strawberry jelly sandwiches, but mixing in the jelly and bread late at night is not a good idea. It's even better if your peanut butter is organic, natural, or homemade, rather than one of the famous brands. Mix it with one of the fruits we listed above, or go with a popular companion - bananas.

Well, who knew dietary experts would give us the opportunity to eat candy? Sure, dark chocolate is not as sweet as milk chocolate, but it comes pretty close. You can pair it with some sweet berries so it does not taste as bitter as it might on its own. That should satisfy your chocolate cravings and help you fall fast asleep. Sleep tight!
