This headline is misleading: no benefit. I'd have to say this is flat out incorrect. Other comments mention bringing you back into your circadian rhythm: yes.

This headline is misleading: no benefit. I'd have to say this is flat out incorrect. Other comments mention bringing you back into your circadian rhythm: yes. I always sleep better when I do not eat late. Having the last meal around 5pm (don't eat after 6) is my personal imaginary cut off point. If I'm with others, I'll probably eat later, but alone I'll stick to it. The other day I had a big lunch at 2pm and didn't eat after that. I survived. Was I hungry when I went to sleep? Yes. Did my hunger go away reasonably quickly? Yes. Did I sleep well? Yes. Was I starving in the morning? No. Let your body feel hunger every once in a while. Especially if you live in an industrialized area where food is available at any hour and you have the disposable income to afford it.
