Are you a late-night snacker? Does your dinnertime tend to fall a little too close to bedtime? If you often find yourself hitting the fridge just before you hit the sack, there’s a strong chance that you’re not receiving all the benefits that a good night’s sleep has to offer. Our bodies are designed to take a break from digestion while we snooze, but if we eat a big meal before bed, we force our metabolism to work overtime. This diverts energy from other important functions and sets in motion a less-than-healthy cycle that can be hard to break.
