Poor Quality Sleep 
Eating too much close to bedtime can affect sleep quality. Research shows 
that eating high-calorie meals with large amounts of fat or carbohydrates 
less than an hour before bedtime can extend the time it takes to fall asleep. 
By contrast, eating meals high in carbohydrates at least four hours before 
bedtime can decrease the time spent awake in bed before sleeping. 
Eating right before bed can also make a person wake up in the middle of 
the night. One study found that participants who ate or drank less than an 
hour before going to bed were much more likely to wake up after falling 
asleep than people who consumed something two or more hours before 
bedtime. 
Obesity
The relationship between eating near bedtime and obesity is complicated. 
While research suggests that eating later in the evening can increase the 
chances of obesity, this may depend significantly on the types of food and 
portion sizes.
An adult should consume a target amount of calories each day, based on 
their age, activity level, and other individual factors. If a nighttime meal or 
snack puts a person’s calorie intake over the target amount, they may be 
at risk for weight gain and obesity. But eating a small nighttime snack that 
is rich in nutrients can actually be beneficial to a person’s health.
Importantly, the risk of obesity is influenced by factors beyond food 
consumption. These include other health conditions, stress, medications
exercise habits, and genetics.
How Long Before Bed Should You Stop Eating?
While estimates vary, most experts recommend eating a meal two to four 
hours before bedtime. People who eat meals well ahead of bedtime have 
enough time to properly digest their food. Taking time between eating and 
lying down also reduces the risk of GER symptoms and poor sleep.
Research on the best timing for an evening snack is limited. For people 
managing blood sugar, experts suggest consuming a snack near bedtime. 
The right timing of a snack may vary among individuals and depend on the 
food type.
