[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 8041, member: 1338"] Hi Luceo, Your digestive system certainly does slow down overnight while you are asleep, but it doesn't stop working completely. It operates fully as long as you are awake. It is only the act of sleeping that causes your brain to send signals to the intestines to slow down. This is why eating a big meal late at night or very soon before going to bed is not a good practice. Digestion during sleep is not efficient because the metabolic rate is falling. [/QUOTE]
