  1. Suffer from GERD or frequent heartburn.

  2. Have IBS or a FODMAP sensitivity.

  3. Notice you feel “heavy” or bloated after dinner.

  4. Wake up frequently during the night with indigestion.

The Bottom Line

Onions are undeniably healthy, but they aren’t “one-size-fits-all” for sleep. If you love them but find yourself tossing and turning, try switching to well-cooked versions or eating them earlier in the day. Listen to your body—it will tell you if that extra slice of red onion was worth the wakefulness.
