Don’t Go to Bed Immediately After Eating
Your sleeping position isn’t the only factor that matters.
Eating a large meal shortly before lying down can make nighttime reflux more likely.
A practical approach is to give your body several hours to begin digesting a meal before going to bed.
This may be especially useful after:
- Large dinners
- High-fat meals
- Spicy foods
- Alcohol
- Chocolate
- Caffeinated drinks
Not everyone reacts to the same foods, so identifying your personal triggers can be more useful
