Is it harmful to go to bed on a full stomach?

Chris Idzikowski (Director of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre) gives expert video advice on: Does counting sheep really send you to sleep?; Can you sleep standing up?; Can you sleep with your eyes open? and more...

Yes it is because it's possible to bring up stomach contents it's one of the things that disturbs sleep. So it may not necessarily awaken someone but awakening feeling fatigued and tired, particularly if there's a sore throat, implies that stomach contents have been rolling back a little bit during the night. So best not to go to bed for nighttime sleep with a full stomach.
