its not that is directly bad for your health. but you might find that your sleep isn't as good as it could be. eating right before you sleep kicks your body off into digestion mode, when it should be in rest and recovery mode. your body will be busy trying to digest your food and this stops you going into the level 3 sleep mode, which is the most important one for recovery. you may only fall into level 1 or 2, and both of these phases are only light sleep. you should really try to eat at least 2 hours before you make your way to bed.
