When a person eats shortly before going to bed, digestion accompanies sleep. The two great physiological functions are completed together, leaving the maximum of freedom to the mind during the day.

About This Quote

"Sleep and digestion are two physiological functions that involve the body’s entire nervous system. Both processes occur at the same time and occur in the brain, but the right and left sides of the brain work in a different way. During sleep, the body’s right half is very active while the left half is inactive. On the other hand, during digestion, the right half of the brain is very active while the left half is inactive. These differences mean that when we get up in the morning to begin our day, our mind has maximum freedom.
