    I grew up eating at 7-9PM every night (we were rarely home due to sports and other activities, so we ate when we could) and I kept that habit into adulthood. Around 5 years ago, I put in a genuine effort to improve my sleep habits and one of the easiest things I found was “stop eating so late.” So I moved my dinner time back 1.5-2 hours and almost immediately I started getting like 1-2 hours of extra sleep a night. So now I make a real effort to sit down for dinner at 6PM. Which means I need to start cooking right now, actually, so thanks for the reminder.
