What is the best time to consume dinner and how long should it be before I sleep?

The night is for resting, for both mind and body. A night of good night sleep is the best way to rejuvenate. Slow digestion resulting from a large meal disturbs sleep patterns. Modern science, as well as tradition, do not advise a heavy meal towards the evening. Large dinners make you uncomfortable and tired and prolonged digestion times.

Doesn’t requires blood flow towards specific organs, while sleep is intended to slow down your metabolism and allow the brain to recharge as the body rests. Research has shown how blood flow to the intestinal tract increases gradually and considerably after a meal and last for up to 2 hours. There is also a similar increase in cardiac output imposing an increased workload on the heart as well.

It is advisable to have your meals before mid-afternoon. If you are late for dinner, keep it light making sure you consume the food 2 hours before you sleep. Also, don’t sleep on an empty stomach. As per Ayurveda, the heat principle that is responsible for metabolism reaches its peak at midday and to a lesser degree during the middle of the night. So eating a heavy meal before mid-afternoon is the best use of the quality meal. Traditions among various cultures suggest a stroll (not hard exercise) after dinner to keep digestion smooth before sleep.
