Is it bad to eat late at night?
I often get hungry at night and have a snack before bed. My friend says eating after 8pm makes you gain weight because your body doesn't burn it off while you sleep. Is that actually true? Does the time you eat matter, or only how much you eat overall? Is a late-night snack really going straight to fat?

Talk to a pharmacist — they're an underrated resource and they're free to talk to. They know a ton about medications and interactions and can tell you whether something is worth a doctor visit or whether an over-the-counter remedy will do.
I'm not a doctor and you should definitely talk to your physician about this. That said, the general medical consensus seems to be that moderation is key. Most health concerns come from extremes in either direction.
