Sleep after eating

[pkrahmer]

 I sometimes would like to take a nap after I eat .  However, when I feel like that I try and exercise  or work through it.  The more naps I take during the day the less likely I am to sleep at night

I do not sleep right after I eat.  If you suffer from heartburn at all, you don't want to do this.  Also. I have gotten into the habit of not eating within 4 hours of my general bedtime.  I just feel better when my stomach is not full when i'm going to sleep. If I feel like a little nap (which is not usual), I sleep in a recliner only partially reclined.

No, I don't sleep after I eat. Our body is most comfortable digesting food in an upright position allowing it to absorb food easily. Sleeping after eating can muddle with the digestion process which can lead to a mass of digestive diseases.

So how about if you snooze in a recliner after eating?

Try to sleep less often after eating.

I nap as soon as I eat because I feel sleepy then.  Anyone else do this?

No because in the mornings I have to go to work.  At lunch time, I have to go back to work.  In the evenings I have things to do before bed so I can get up and go to work the next morning.

I tend to go to sleep after I eat, but not all the time, I have to stay up for at least 2 hrs after eating.

I get so drowsy after lunch, but if I lay down to take a nap I can't sleep.

Eating large meals will you sleepy.  Not good.  Getting a move on works better for the body.

Sometems, but latley have dreams because of eatng before sleepng. you wake up and they become unmprtant

[Mizzkizz7]

Shouldn't eat late at night and laying down, it'll be hard to burn calories and it can lead to acid reflux or heartburn. That is VERY uncomfortable.

[mardukblood2009]

I always try to wait a least a half hour after I lay down after I eat other wise I don't feel good. They do make my tired too.

Try and stay up for at least 2 - 3 hours after eating!
