What’s the Problem with Eating Late?

Sonja Manning talks trouble with late dinners or late-night snacking before bed.

😴 What you eat and when you eat can have a huge impact on your sleep. Late dinners and pre-bed snacks leave your body with excess sugar to process when it should be winding down.

🫠 Eating late makes your sleep less restful, which can also make you feel lousy and tired the next day.

⚠️ On top of that, when we eat late dinners and early breakfasts, our metabolism does not get the break that it needs.

⏰ A longer overnight fast can improve your metabolic health and make it easier to lose weight.

🗝️ The key habit takeaway: “To improve both your digestion and your sleep quality,” Sonja Manning says, “I recommend your last bite of food be at least three hours before you go to sleep.”

📝 Note: This should probably mean eating your dinner a little bit earlier versus going to bed later.

🫖 “Instead of a late-night snack, I often make myself some tea,” she says, “which scratches my snack itch and also helps me wind down.”

🍳 Aim for consistency, not perfection. If it doesn’t happen all the time, do not beat yourself up over it. “What I do if I end up eating a late dinner,” she says, “is I push my breakfast back a few hours the next day so I can give my metabolism the rest that it needs.

🏆 If you’ve already tried eating dinner earlier this week, congratulations! And if not, what’s stopping you? Give it a try tonight.
