According to U of Arizona's Dr. Ronnie Fass, if you lose sleep from heartburn you may want to cut back on your carbohydrate consumption, specifically carbonated soft drinks. High acidity cann trigger nightime heartburn. Researchers studied 15,000 people, and those who drank more than one carbonated soft drink daily were about 25% more apt to have heartburn while asleep than those who did not consume a soft drink. Being overweight also increased nighttime heartburn risk by 30%.
