Is It Really That Bad To Eat A Late Dinner? Here’s What Sleep Experts Think.

Friday, September 13, 2024 12:14 PM GMT

An 8 p.m. dinner reservation looks cool but doesn't always feel so great the next day.

There are two habits that always seem to get sleep doctors riled up: using alcohol as a sleep aid and eating dinner late. If you want to dine with a doctor specializing in sleep, you’d better ask them to meet you for the early-bird special because they certainly seem to collectively be against a late-night meal.

But what exactly constitutes “late”?

An early evening dinner isn’t always realistic. Sometimes you have to make a dinner reservation past 8 p.m. to allow enough time to finish work, get ready and get to the restaurant.
