I've always found that point odd because for me I can't sleep when hungry often my body's wake up alarm is getting hungry so all eating dinner hours before sleep just makes me wake up starved in the middle of the night so I usually eat as late as possible so I can have my more consistent alarm clock wake me up instead of my stomach
What works for me is: a slice or two of high-fiber bread, toasted with a bit of butter, about an hour before I sleep.
Also, it's not unusual to wake up at least once in the middle of the night.
Yeah, dude, you do fuck tons of exercise. No wonder you sleep well!
I think people are built differently and what works for some people doesn't work for others. I know people who can't function without a hearty breakfast. For me, eating soon after I get up makes me feel sick. I feel best if I don't eat for several hours after I get up.
For sleeping, I think the most important thing is routine / habit. If your body recognizes that you're in the routine you do before bed, it knows what comes next. What that routine is can differ from person to person.
Same for me. I also exercise tons so I have to eat a huge second dinner before bed or I can't sleep at all.
A reminder that fit does not automatically mean healthy.
