Thread: Pros and/or Cons to eating before bed

Are there any pros or cons regarding eating a large meal shortly before bed? I thought I read once that large meals before bedtime had an effect on something.

Yes there is a con and that is that it messes up ur dreaming process, can give u trouble falling asleep, produce annoying grumbles in ur stomach, and decrease ur chances of lucid dreaming.

So i would stay away from large meals before bed time if i were u.

pro- eating makes you feel good

con- you'll get fat

and what ldmaster said

Yes i forgot to mention there is a pro, food rocks!

Actually after I eat a large meal I get pretty tired and feel very content with going to sleep. Also I'm pretty sure that you're supposed to get tired because the work your digestive system is doing on digesting the food.

going to sleep right after eating causes your metabolism to slow down and thus gain more weight than if you were awake, the body doesn't process the food the same rate.

Sure it's bad to eat before bed physically, but wouldn't the deeper sleep lead to more REM, and thus more chances at lucidity? Of course, wrecking one's body like that is not advised, but meh...
