Sleep experts say not to eat 2 to 3 hours before bed, but does it really matter?
market, late-night trips to the local ice cream shop, and s'mores by the campfire. I got in the habit of eating past 9 p.m., right before I got into bed. Before the Summer, I rarely ate past 7 p.m., so it was a big difference.
Eating more foods I wasn't used to and eating up until I went to bed added a little extra Summer fluff, but what I really noticed was that I was sleeping like crap. Eating so close to bedtime left me feeling bloated, and I'd often wake up several times a night because of stomach pains.Dr. Rizwana Sultana, MD, said"the last big meal of the day should be at least two to three hours before going to bed.
I thought I'd do a little experiment and see what would happen if I stopped eating three hours before bed, as recommended by Dr. Sultana. Since I go to CrossFit, run, or do yoga early in the morning, I'm in bed by 9 p.m., which meant I needed to stop eating by 6 p.m. every night. I did this for the entire month of September.
I also went back to eating in a six- or seven-hour window, since that's the IF schedule I preferred. I'd eat lunch around noon, have a snack around 3 p.m., and finish dinner by 6 p.m. It was a little hard at first to have that 6 p.m. cutoff, but it made me realize how much I was unnecessarily eating after dinner while cleaning the kitchen and making the kids' lunches. Sometimes my workouts were so intense that I'd be hungry before noon so I'd eat at 11 a.m.
I found high-sugar foods had that effect on me; those were the foods I was reaching for in the Summer nights. Having that 6 p.m. cutoff naturally helped me not reach for as much crap! It helped me get back into a healthy eating pattern, not only when I was eating but also what I was eating.I feel so much better eating this way that I'm naturally inspired to keep it up. During the week, this schedule feels totally easy to stick to.
