A member asked:
How long after eating dinner should you ideally go to sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Four hours.: We generally advise waiting at least four hours after eating to go to bed, mainly to prevent heartburn symptoms but also to allow for the proper digestion of food before your bodily processes slow down as you sleep.
