I usually recommend my clients eat a serving of cereal before bed if they haven't eaten in several hours. The carbohydrates will help raise serotonin levels to induce sleep. Also you don't want too large a portion or too much protein this will raise dopamin levels and make it harder to fall asleep and could lead to acid reflux.

Generally speaking (verrrrry generally), carbs are used for energy, protein is used to re-build muscle tissue and fats have a wide range of uses. So, if you are going to eat right before bed, should you eat carbs?....NO If carbs are for energy, and you are heading off to bed (going to sleep you potty minds), where you won't be expending too many calories, why eat carbs. Protein and fat still have lots of work to do while you sleep. So lay off the carbs before going to bed.
