Better Sleeping

I have figured out what my sleep problem is.
I have been trying to have a healthier diet. Due to some GI issues, a doctor suggested I have more probiotics. I’ve been doing this by consuming large amounts of yogurt, mostly Greek yogurt. (More protein.) At the same time, I’ve been cutting down on sugar. I started by reducing, a lot, the amount of Coke I drink. I used to drink one or two cans a week. Now I seem to be drinking that amount in a season. Or financial quarter.
To continue on with this, I’ve been reading nutrition labels to get an idea of how much sugar is in things I drink. I usually compare the drinks to a can of Coke which has a lot. And it is depressing how much sugar is in everything. Two mugs of hot chocolate have as much sugar as one can of Coke. So I’ve stopped having an afternoon hot chocolate at work.
I need something to drink that doesn’t have sugar. I don’t like coffee.
Then I hear about Kombucha. Miracle drink all the hippies like. It has probiotics. It doesn’t have sugar. I got a six pack on sale at Costco to try it out. I tried drinking it at dinner instead of something that would have had too much sugar. It doesn’t have the greatest taste, but it isn’t terrible.
And when I had some on Tuesday evening, I had trouble sleeping. The same as on Sunday night, when I also had a Kombucha.
A quick check of the internet. Yup. Kombucha is made from tea and has caffeine.
Did I mention I’m also trying to cut caffeine out of my diet?
