Stop Eating 2-3 Hours Before Bed — Late-night eating can disrupt sleep and digestion. Aim to finish your last meal at least 2-3 hours before bedtime.
This is good advice, but is it practical in our contemporary lives? Lots of people I know don’t get home until 6 or a later. By the time they begin eating it’s 7 p.m. If they go out to dinner they may not start eating until 8. Yet, a good night’s sleep is crucial. What can one do who wants to get a good night’s sleep and whose schedule isn’t cooperating? Make sleep a priority. A poor night’s sleep is much worse than missing a meal. You don’t have to miss a meal, you can opt for lighter, easily digestible meals in the evening, such as soups, salads, or lean proteins with steamed vegetables. Keep this regime up and in no time you’ll be buff and looking for a new outfit. 🙂
