On the question of whether you should catch some z’s right after eating, it really depends on what you ate. For example, if you’re wondering, ‘is it bad to sleep after eating my mother’s chihuahua?’, then the answer will normally be yes, it is bad, because you must be a real psycho to be able to calmly take a nap after doing such a terrible thing. The answer may, however, be no. Imagine you were flying over the Andes mountains and your plane crashes. The only survivors are you, your Mom, her chihuahua, and a Uruguayan rugby team. You’re all freezing and beginning to starve to death. Under these circumstances, no, it’s not bad to sleep after eating the dog. After all, you need to conserve energy by moving as little as possible.
