If you have a substantial meal not long before going to bed, your organism will need much more time to digest it. At the stage of deep sleep, the brain releases a growth hormone that has a fat moving effect. While eating late at night, this hormone will store foods that are in the digestive system in the form of fat, instead of energy. The same occurs with alcohol: taken close to sleeping hours, the body will have to work harder to metabolise it during sleep, preventing to get to the phase of deep sleep. A glass of wine at dinner may be accepted, but it is preferable to stop drinking alcohol 3 hours before going to bed.
