Eating at night helps me sleep

Eating shortly before bedtime can disrupt sleep quality. Contrary to popular belief, eating close to bedtime does not necessarily lead to weight gain. There are more detrimental habits to your health than having a snack before bed.

Just kidding about saying your prayers... From my own experience, I feel uncomfortable if I've eaten too much of anything.

To help your digestive system rest and repair, avoid eating a few hours before bed. This can also improve your sleep. If you're too hungry to sleep, consider having a larger meal with some protein for dinner.

Your sleep is crucial for recovery. Try not to eat for five hours before bedtime. I use a Whoop fitness tracker that analyzes my rhr, HRV, RR, blood oxygen, and skin to give a recovery score from my sleep. Eating at night significantly impacts that score.

If you're hungry, have something light to eat. Otherwise, hunger might keep you awake all night. The key is to listen to your body when it's hungry and choose healthy options to refuel it.

The evidence suggests that eating late is generally not great for you. While it can make you sleepy, it seems to reduce sleep quality. This makes sense because you're adding mass and fluid to your stomach, then lying down, which puts pressure on the LES (lower esophageal sphincter), which isn't good for your body.

Generally, it's good to leave at least 1 hour between your last bite and sleep. 2 hours is even better.

However, it doesn't seem to be life-threatening. It's just not ideal or potentially slightly harmful to some stomachs.

Eating before bed isn’t necessarily bad, but it depends on what and how much you eat. Some foods can cause indigestion or disrupt sleep, while others may be beneficial. Moderation and healthy choices are key. It might also depend on weight loss supplements from online site like the nature meds.
