SNACKING BEFORE BEDTIME.

 

A lot of people are curious to know if they can sleep shortly after eating a meal. Most people think it is bad to go to bed right after you eat. Logically, this makes sense to us. If we have something in our stomach our bodies will have to digest it and make falling asleep next to impossible. Also, let us not forget the potential weight gains that come along with late night snacking. 

Well, turns out you are absolutely right for thinking this. Eat your favourite nasi lemak - or even a hard-boiled egg - an hour before bed and you will pay the consequences.

That said, it does not even have to be a typical dinner meal. The majority of people do not eat a traditional dinner-sized meal and hit the sheets. It is the late-night snack addicts that need to worry the most.

For instance, eating too many snacks while watching your favourite movie right before bedtime will definitely hurt your sleep quality (not to mention these habits can lead to unwanted weight gains). Without further ado, let us talk about why you should not eat right before bed.

The researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology confirm that eating small meals just before sleeping does not necessarily lead to weight gains. However, there are other good reasons why you should not sleep immediately after eating a meal.

It is untrue that late night snacks or eating in the evening will cause significant weight gains. You only gain weight if your caloric intake is more than your caloric expenditure. if you eat excess calories before sleep, then you will definitely gain weight.

Eating late at night may result in less hunger the next morning. And, if you skip breakfast, you risk overeating or even eating unhealthy snacks at lunch or later in the evening. When you sleep just after eating a meal, your body is busy digesting your final meal. This can result in various issues, such as indigestion, and a higher risk of a stroke.

Also, eating late increases the chances of mental exhaustion - this is probably why so many people claim they have nightmares from late night food consumption. Weakened willpower and impaired judgment, can occur as a result. Not to mention the complete exhaustion and lack of energy too - it is one of the worst things you can do if you are a bodybuilder.
