Interaction warnings

Sleep Medications + hot chocolate

low

Hot chocolate contains caffeine and theobromine, methylxanthines that antagonize adenosine receptors. Because zolpidem, eszopiclone, benzodiazepines, and other sedatives work in part by amplifying inhibitory neurotransmission, evening hot chocolate can partially blunt their sedative effect and worsen sleep onset and maintenance.
