It was the calm Sunday night of a thrilling weekend when my best friend said: we can have italian or we can meet these place called Ihop, US-like stuff.
I was really hungry so I told him: ‘Ihop’. Also the best answer to the question: where you should have dinner in order to feel a bothersome fullness, uncomfortable enought to keep you awake until 4am?
We had a giant hamburger and enough fries and Coca-Cola to supply the daily caloric intake of four sailors.
I didn’t mind until bedtime when I started feeling a half-soul / half-physical discomfort. I then remembered Thomas Hobbes saying:
“…cold doth in the same manner generate fear in those that sleep, and causeth them to dream of ghosts, and to have phantasms of horror and danger.”
My advice? Believe English philosophers and your parents when they say you will have a ’disturbed repose’ if you eat tons of food before bedtime.
