Is It Really That Bad To Eat A Late Dinner? Here’s What Sleep Experts Think.
HuffPost
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. Maybe you work untraditional hours or your commute is long, making the idea of a 6 p.m. dinner completely laughable. And what about cultures where dinner is routinely eaten past 9 p.m., like in France or Spain?
We asked top sleep experts about the ideal time to eat dinner and what to do if you have to eat late but you still want to sleep well. Keep reading to see the verdict.
