How much time do you give in between when you eat and when you lay down or when you go to bed? I've been giving myself at least three hours, but wondered what everyone else does?

I do about the same... otherwise I get some acid reflux. The other night I had a headache, so I took an Advil right before bed, I was feeling burpy and acidic for an hour while laying there!!

3 hours as well.

I give a minimum of 3 hours. Not just because of the acid reflux, but I read somewhere that one of the problems people have in getting to sleep is that they ate a very short time before going to bed and their body's metabolism is revving up to deal with that food. Once I quit eating in the evening, I had no trouble falling asleep. Staying asleep, however, is another issue.

I've also heard/read that if you go lay down with food in your stomach, that the pouch can stretch out.
