Your body doesn't digest food well while sleeping. That's when it's supposed to be doing cell regeneration and bone growth (especially if you're an adolescent during a growth spurt). If you have eaten and your body has to digest food, it has to take resources away from the things it's supposed to be doing.
Plus, you also won't sleep well while digesting food.

If possible you should allow some time.
However it is also a matter of habit. In some culture people are use to taking siesta soon after eating.
If you are a young person, you can get away with lots of bad habits.
Some people just cannot help, they have to eat when they can.
Most resent thinking promotes eating nice healthy break fast, moderate lunch and light early dinner. You may add two small healthy snacks. But watch the total calories in take per day asked your family doctor or look up biomass index chart,it is available on line.
Few years ago people were use to night cap, usually a glass of hot or cold milk and a Cookie.
If you have acid reflux, allow 2 to 3Hrs before laying down after a meal.

Its not good to eat right before bedtime, especially if you have a weight problem. But even if you are thin some people have food back up into their throat causing acid burns to the esphogus and throat. Its called hiatal hernia. Or you could have a defective valve. Even if you are healthy, the calories don't get used if you are lying in bed and you will not be healthy later on. Should eat no later then two hours before bed.

It is coz when you sleep your organs start to work slow therefore it may be possible that the food would not get properly digested. I suggest you to take atleast 2 hours gap between meal and going to bed otherwise you may feel gas or acidity or constipation....Keep eyes on clock dear

You dont have physical activity when you sleep. The common benchmark for people who die of pacreatitis is sleeping in full stomach.

sleeping doesn't burn enough calories that you intake after a certain hour, only eat late if you intend to be up a while, if you must eat avoid meats, get an apple or something.
