Don't eat for at least 2 hours before you go to sleep.\n\nIt's not only about getting a fat tummy. The food remains undigested in your stomach for longer, causing your sleep to be disturbed.

No, you should wait at least 15 minutes after eating because that allows your saliva to digest your food.

what time do you go to bed? Maybe you're not getitng enough sleep; most people need about 7 hours. Do you get any exercise? That might help. It may also be what you eat; are you eating a good healthy breakfast, and a decent lunch? Plenty of fruit, not too many carbs?

Drink lots of water about a half hour before and during meals and also eat a small appetizer, like a small salad, 30 minutes before your meals.  These will help your stomach to start the process of signaling the brain that the stomach is full, since this can take about 20 minutes to take place.

Actually I've found quite a few sites that have said that the "eating before bed will make you fat" idea is actually a myth. (I'll include one of those sites bellow)\n\nIn your case I'd try to eat a full meal on or before 8:00 pm but if you go to sleep at 10:00 or later and feel like a snack, go ahead! Just make sure it's healthy and don't cram yourself chock full... Eat some cottage cheese and fruit or healthy cereals. I like to make BLTs with lite mayo. It's got a good balance of veggies, protein, and carbs while still being lite. Also, make sure to get plenty of exercise. I like to exercise before dinner or just after...Depending on my mood...To help boost my metabolism. \n\nI highly recommend that you just use common sense and you'll be okay. Ask yourself...Do I need that bowl of ice cream?

My recommendation is to stop eating after 7:00 pm or 3-4 hours before you go to bed.  Increase the amount of water you drink each day at least an 8 oz glass every hour.  Also start walking each day, start out slow and short distances and increase your distance and speed each time you walk.  Watch what you eat, keep a food journal for two weeks and see if there are any patterns that you can change.  Try to stay away from the fast food places, they are high in fat.  If you need additional help I can get you a wonderful product that you add to water and it helps, of course it is all natural stuff and will not harm your body.

i wouldn't eat it all in one sitting.  if you wait about 30 mins after eating fruit before you eat anything else your body will metabolize it ok.  \nApples have the lowest glycemic index, so if you're worried about the sugar, those are the best way to go.

Would you follow the ten second rule in a restaurant?  I guess it depends on how hungry you are to decide whether or not you want to try and eat food off of a floor.  If it was at my mother-in-laws who is ocd with cleaning you could follow a two hour rule there, although I am sure she would have "cleaned it up" before then.

Highly recommended every 2-3 hours to keep insulin level stable.  Had diabetic friend who had to eat 2 oz. lean meat (protein) before going to bed. Of course, you must follow a guidelines for diabetic foods.

Normal transit time through the stomach ranges from 1 to 4 hours.  Transit time is faster for meals very low in fat and can be significantly less than an hour.  Hot tea with a meal can also speed up the transit time - getting your stomach to empty quicker.  I actually try to work out before eating - but find that dinner at 8pm doesn't really work so well if you want to be part of a family meal.\n\nSo - dinner with high fat - take more time before your run\nlow fat - 30 min to an hour depending on your makeup.\n\nTweak the whole thing with hot liquid at the start of your meal.  Best wishes -

I think you should stop eating an hour before going to bed.

How soon do you go to bed after eating meals? This may be a problem you should consult a physician about!

Welcome to life.\n\nNow go to bed earlier. If you're not tired, get off the computer and exercise before going to bed. Also, don't eat late.\nA good time to go to bed would be 9-10 P.M.

Go to bed really early the night before, wake up at 11:00 P.M. and then get there at midnight. People are crazy during Thanksgiving, and I wouldn't be surprised if there's already a line waiting for you when you get there. Five hours is a long time, but it sure is worth the discount on that TV.

I don't know what time zone you're in, but I would suggest possibly taking a nap for a couple of hours then going to bed at your regular bedtime tonight. That way you don't totally throw off your body clock tomorrow. You need to get some sleep though!
