Why Is It Bad To Drink Or Eat Before Going To Bed?

Vermillion: I heard that you shouldn't even drink water before going to sleep. People say you shouldn't eat either before sleeping. Can someone tell me why?

Its bad to eat because normally, you keep moving around which helps to digest the food and prevent it from being wasted and as such being gathered in fat deposits. So when you eat just before sleeping (do it at least 2 hours before pl0x) the food doesn't get digested as thoroughly and causes you to get fatter quicker or in worse spots.

You metabolism switches over when you go to sleep, it stops converting to energy you are using, because you are using very little energy, and starts converting to stored energy so the things you consumed aren't wasted. It gets stored as fat.
