What's the longest break between meals for you? Well, I used to be REALLY bad about sleep -- getting caught up in work and not going to bed until 3am was pretty common. So if I had dinner around 7 or 8, it might mean 8+ hours between food and sleep. In the past, if I had a really important deadline...
