Finish your last big meal 3 hours before bed

Plan dinner so you have time before lying down.

Why it helps

Eating very close to bedtime can leave you uncomfortable. Many people sleep more easily after allowing some time to digest.

How to do it

1. Estimate your bedtime and count back three hours.
2. Plan to finish dinner by then.
3. Have only a light snack later if needed.

Make it easier

Allow two hours.

Make it harder

Make it your routine on weeknights.

This is a timing tip, not a diet.
