We all know we should be eating a good diet to keep ourselves healthy, but did you know your diet can have a significant impact on how well you sleep?


In this episode, we speak to Dr Piril Hepsomali, a psychologist and sleep researcher based at the University of Reading.


She tells us how consuming caffeine affects our sleep, why we feel tired after eating a big Sunday lunch and what actually happens if you eat cheese before going to bed.
