Eating dinner late forces the body to digest food when it should be preparing for rest, disrupting circadian rhythm and hindering the natural nighttime blood pressure drop.
Eating too much, consuming spicy or sweet foods, or drinking alcohol or coffee in the evening can lead to difficulty sleeping, frequent awakenings, and morning fatigue.
I often stay awake until 1-2 am for work and need to eat at night for energy. What should I eat and how should I eat to avoid gaining weight? (Anh Vy, Ho Chi Minh City)
