I love bananas , I can eat this tropical fruit anytime of the day. However my teen told me that it is not wise to eat banana at night because it will hinder my sleeping time. In other words, I couldn't sleep at night because bananas make you hyper active. Is it true?

I don't see how a banana can make one hyper active.

@marlina The potassium in the banana helps to sleep, I cannot understand where is the problem.

I don't think bananas can make you hyperactive. Some of the food that can make you hyperactive are candies, chocolates, sodas, energy drinks, etc.

Interesting question. However, I haven't try to eat banana at night. I only knew that do not eat it when you have an empty stomach but I am not sure the reason, probably due to digestion.

Don't see why this should be true. Eat your banana and have a good nights' sleep!

Eating a banana has never made me hyper active. I guess you will have to look up the effects of eating a banana. I just don't think eating one banana will effect your sleep.

I eat bananas at any time because it can increase my energy and have no problems with sleep.

I eat whenever I'm hungry, I think fruits is easy for our body to digest much better than eating a heavy meal before sleeping I guess. Banana makes me feel strong but it never hindred my sleep.

I do not know why your teen told you that it is unsafe. A banana is rich in potassium and helps to relax the muscle. Eating a banana late in the evening helps to fall asleep.
