I generally sleep at least 1 hour after having dinner, especially if I have a heavy dinner. I feel uneasy if I sleep immediately after my meal. My mom and cousin sleep immediately. In fact they say that they feel sleepy afyer they are full and have a good sleep. I guess, it is individual habit. Do you sleep immediately after having dinner?

I don't. We usually take early dinner so there are a lot of things that can still be done like going online, watching tv, beauty rituals

Though it is not a good habit but I do sleep immediately after dinner. Since I have a full time job its quite late by the time I reach home and am very tired by the time I cook and eat and have no energy left then to stay awake.

@Sheali I think it is more a habit with me coz I have been doing this since childhood. I am having weight issues and trying to change my habits but just not able to.

No I don't. In fact I have dinner at 8 pm, and then I watch tv, surf the internet, and I go to bed at midnight when I am hungry again lol. But I would wait at least 15 minutes to go to bed after having any meal.

I didn't get what you mean by DON'T feel hungry again.. Why will you wait for not to feel hungry after dinner.. I mean you anyways, don't feel hungry after dinner.. I don't feel hungry after I eat dinner. So why say, 'I will wait until I don't feel hungry again' The question was when you sleep after dinner? Do you mean you have something again after dinner..., when you are hungry again and then go to sleep?

Sleeping just after dinner is not good habit, we may have acidity problem. Here I have my dinner up to 8 PM. than I like to watch some TV serials. After it at 9.30PM I go to sleep. It is my routine of most of days.

@Sheali It's not really common but I have had many times where I was so exhausted but also hungry so I'd eat then lay down after I was done eating. I have noticed lately that after I eat I feel pretty tired. In fact funny enough I am feeling sleepy now and I've just had something to eat lol I'm trying to stay awake though as I want to be on here for awhile to catch up.

Dinner before 8 is very rare among Indians.. People generally have it at 8:30 earliest and sometimes a few mins after 8
