> sleeping on a bellyful of food This is supposed to be bad for you (according to those that grew up watching adverts for breakfast 'cereals'). You are supposed to go for a constitutional walk after a large meal, not pass out asleep. I have observed what cats, dogs and animals on nature programmes do. Maybe they did not get the memo from the experts. As a rule with no exceptions I can think of, all of them go to sleep shortly after eating a large meal. The athletes with the highest calorie requirements - Tour de France cyclists - they go to bed on a sizeable meal. It doesn't seem to be a problem for them. Where did this idea come from that you should not sleep on a full stomach?
