There was a whole thread on taking a spoonful of honey before bed; because it doesn't create a sugar rush and it keeps the digestive tract mildly occupied.
...or something like that.
Haven't tried honey, but eating an apple before bed works for me. Of course, you can't have just eaten a bowl of ice cream or a cheeseburger. Your stomach has to be empty.
You also shouldn't drink a lot because then you'll have to pee. The apple will satisfy any dry mouth.
Maybe it’s just me since I lived in Asia for such a long time, but perhaps, you’re not really talking about food here. In China you must understand the hidden meaning and not the direct message. That being said, you’re advice sounds very intruiging. I will try it tonight. Unfortunately, my girlfriend complains about eating the apple although I like that. She prefers I eat the honey.
