Last night, I made the mistake of having green tea before bed. Result? I was up at 3am, again at 4:30am, and have been wide awake ever since.
Green tea contains caffeine, which could explain your sleep issues.
Green tea before bed is definitely not a great choice because of the caffeine content.
Yep, caffeine’s the culprit.
If you’re looking for bedtime tea options, try peppermint or chamomile. Just be cautious if you have reflux or blood clotting disorders.

You might also consider lemon balm or lavender tea as other soothing nighttime options.
Having green tea right before bed is akin to drinking coffee at that time. It’s best avoided if you want a good night’s sleep.

It’s like downing a double shot of espresso and expecting to sleep peacefully.
It’s pretty essential to avoid caffeine before bedtime to ensure quality sleep.
Try chamomile tea instead. It’s known for its calming effects.
Herbal teas without caffeine are your best bet for a pre-sleep beverage.
A valuable lesson on caffeine consumption before bed.
Decaf options are better as even decaf coffee has some caffeine which might disturb sleep.
Consider trying a nighttime tea like those from Traditional Medicinals which may include valerian to aid sleep.
Opt for herbal or decaf green tea in the evening to avoid sleep disruption.
Decaffeinated green teas are available and are a much better option before bed.
Once I drank green tea to relax but didn’t realize the caffeine content. It was a restless night!
