For pulling an all nighter:
Instead of coffee try a salad. The dark green leafy veggies are packed with fiber and vitamins that will boost your concentration.
Skip sleeping pills:
An article published on realage.com suggests that eating simple carbs like potatoes and rice will help you fall asleep, "Starchy carbs may help you nod off. Why? Foods that quickly raise your blood sugar also raise blood levels of the amino acid tryptophan, which the brain converts to mind-soothing serotonin. So unless you have diabetes, try microwaving a potato, warming up some instant rice, or popping an English muffin into the toaster, and then wait for the ZZZs to happen."
To help curb your hunger:
Protein is always a good option when your hungry in between meals. Foods under 100 calories like lean deli meat, low fat cheese sticks, and egg white omelets can help to tide you over.
Mind relaxers:
Nuts may actually help relieve stress. Nuts that contain vitamins and minerals that may increase serotonin production which will help you relax. Blue Diamond makes 100 calorie packs of nuts.
Pregnancy cravings:
Fat free yogurt, instead of ice cream, is a great option and provides calcium.
