CHEESE

No, not all kinds of cheese, but part-skimmed mozzarella cheese provides an adequate amount of protein, especially if you pair it with whole-grain crackers.

OATMEAL

Oatmeal is good for breakfast, but eating a bowl before bedtime helps improve your sleep quality. Grains in oatmeal trigger insulin production that in turn help you sleep.

Yes, you can have chocolate to actually go to sleep. But not the milk one - the other one - dark chocolate. It contains serotonin, which relaxes your body and mind.
