10. Hot sauce can cause insomnia.
Not sure what’s causing your insomnia? It could be an underlying health condition, stress factors, or that KFC hot sauce packet. Studies demonstrated that consuming hot sauces can lead to insomnia.
In one of those studies, participants received tabasco sauce along with their dinner meals. Those who added Tabasco sauce in their meals had difficulty falling asleep. Health professionals think that this may be linked to thermoregulation.
Thermoregulation is the body’s natural ability to regulate its core internal temperature so that you can fall asleep. If something disrupts the process, you may experience insomnia. And it’s not just Tabasco sauce… All spicy meals can lead to insomnia and trouble sleeping, so it’s best to avoid them before bedtime.
