Pre-Bed Eating Basics
Pre-bed eating basics balance late hunger and sleep comfort—modest protein snacks versus heavy late meals, tracked against your sleep and window goals.
Pre-bed eating basics cover what and when to eat in the two to three hours before sleep—without promising miracle fat loss or guaranteed deeper REM. Large, high-fat, high-sugar meals late can delay comfort for some people; a modest protein-rich snack may help others who otherwise wake hungry.
Alcohol and spicy loads often matter more than a small yogurt. Align pre-bed food with your eating window and training day—rest days are not license for unlogged grazing.
