There are risks associated with sleeping immediately after eating. Some of such risks include :
1. Burning sensation in the chest
Straight to bed after eating can increase stomach acid levels and trigger heartburn. Sometimes it can also cause a burning sensation in the abdomen, chest, and throat.
2. Weight gain
Eating late at night before sleeping is harmful because it causes the body to accumulate more fat. So if you wake up hungry at midnight, healthy snacks like fruit and salad is recommended for consumption rather than food such as cakes, pizza, noodles, or rice.
