Many people find it difficult to sleep two to three hours after dinner. Following are some useful tips that will make it easier:
Plan your dinner time such that it ends at least three hours before your regular bedtime.
If you are feeling hungry before retiring to bed, opt for a light, easy-to-digest snack, like a small fruit or some nuts, instead of resorting to a heavy meal.
Perform light activities after dinner, such as walking or light stretching, to help in digestion.
Eat light in the evening; at all costs, avoid spicy, heavy, or fried foods that can cause indigestion and discomfort.
Practice good sleep hygiene: Create a sleep-conducive environment and go to bed early.
