Why do we eat so much before going to bed?
Added: 01/31/03 Modified:10/20/03
Removed extra headers.

What are your current eating habits? If you are anything like people I know (myself included) or what the media says you should be like, dinner is a huge meal at the end of the day, after which, you roll home, grab some Tums or Rolaids and crawl into bed.

Is this wise? I don't think so.
