Food and Sleep
Question:
I’m trying to eliminate eating close to bedtime, but I always have trouble sleeping if I ate 4 hours ago. Then I’ll say, I can have a little food but I’ll stay up longer so it won’t be right after. But after the food I always collapse. Anyone have this kind of experience?
Response:
For sure, I experience this. But more often than not, my reflux gets worse and then my sleep is even more fragemented than usual. I also have more arousals too. "Aplin17" <apli…@cs.com> wrote in message

In addition, I have been experience a lot of mouth biting (sores) during sleep in the last week. I have three sores I believe I got in this fashion. I also have had an unusual number of dreams involving eating food in the past week.

With insomnia, I can usually eat a small protein meal (2 eggs or whatever is in the fridge). I am asleep for the next 3.5 hour block before I awake again. This works for me more consistently than OTC sleep drugs. Bob
