Bed
Your sleeping position isn’t the only factor that can influence nighttime reflux.
Eating shortly before lying down can make symptoms more likely, particularly after a large meal.
The NIDDK notes that people with nighttime GERD symptoms may benefit from eating meals at least three hours before lying down or going to bed.
The American College of Gastroenterology similarly recommends avoiding meals within roughly two to three hours of bedtime.
Instead of having a heavy late-night meal, try giving your digestive system some time before getting into bed.
