1. Why is reflux more common after dinner?
After the evening meal:
- the stomach is still full
- digestion is active
- gastric juice production is increased
- the body is preparing for rest
Lying down too quickly can exacerbate discomfort.
2. Why does lying down right after eating worsen symptoms?
Going to bed quickly after dinner can:
- prevent gravity from aiding digestion
- facilitate the rise of gastric juices
- increase pressure in the stomach
- cause a burning or uncomfortable sensation
Even a light meal can be enough for some sensitive individuals.
3. What role does posture play after dinner?
Posture directly affects:
- the natural direction of digestion
- the ease with which the stomach empties
- the pressure on the esophagus
- comfort when lying down
Posture becomes a key factor once the meal is over.
4. Why does a slightly elevated position help after meals?
Keeping the upper body slightly raised:
- allows gravity to continue assisting digestion
- reduces the likelihood of reflux
- decreases the feeling of heaviness
- often better controls discomfort
This position can be beneficial both before sleeping and during the night.
5. Why aren’t temporary solutions always enough?
Many people try:
- sitting up briefly
- changing sides
- stacking pillows
These solutions often lack stability and do not act throughout the sleep duration.
6. How to incorporate an appropriate posture in the evening routine?
A slightly elevated posture can be adopted:
- during a relaxation period after dinner
- while reading or watching a screen
- right upon falling asleep
- throughout the night
This allows for a smoother transition between digestion and sleep.

- supports an appropriate posture after the meal
- maintains a consistent incline
- prevents pillow stacking
- adapts to evening and night needs
