When is the best to have dinner, 2 or three hours after dinner? Is it fine, if we sleep immediately after having dinner? Why are we strongly recommended to allow 3 hours after dinner, then we are safe to go to bed?

We need to have at least 2-3 hours gap between dinner and sleep depending upon the type of food we ate. The food should be completely or at least partially digested by the time we sleep.

You mean by the time we sleep food stops being digested?
