Why this matters
When you eat late, your body is still digesting when it should be repairing.
That means:
Higher blood sugar overnight
Higher body temperature
Lighter, more disrupted sleep
Even if you fall asleep easily…
you’re not getting the deep, restorative sleep your body needs.
What to do instead
Finish dinner earlier if you can.
And make sure it actually satisfies you:
Protein + healthy fats + fibre.
If you’re hungry later, it’s often a sign dinner wasn’t enough.
Try it tonight and notice how you feel in the morning.
Do you wake up clearer? More rested?
And if sleep has been off in midlife, I currently have 1:1 consultations available for £145 where we look at what’s really driving it.
Comment SLEEP and I’ll send details.
