Disadvantages of sleeping after meal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weight gain: Being active/taking a walk after a meal speeds up metabolism which helps burn more calories so it is a means to watch your weight. Sleeping after a meal only deprives you of a chance for less calorie total which turns into weight gain.
