    I hear this all the time and I ask for evidence and never get anything useful.

    I always ride a food coma straight to bed and have for the last 10 years.

    I’m as healthy as an ox and just finished a marathon. I also got two podium finishes in two local triathlons this season.

    If eating before bed is bad, it hasn’t done a damn thing to me.

      I think people are built differently and what works for some people doesn’t work for others. I know people who can’t function without a hearty breakfast. For me, eating soon after I get up makes me feel sick. I feel best if I don’t eat for several hours after I get up.

      For sleeping, I think the most important thing is routine / habit. If your body recognizes that you’re in the routine you do before bed, it knows what comes next. What that routine is can differ from person to person.

      Same for me. I also exercise tons so I have to eat a huge second dinner before bed or I can’t sleep at all.
