Some people don't like to sleep on a full stomach and have their heaviest meal mid day. Then the evening meal can be lighter.
If you must take meds right before bedtime, would yogurt or milk work for you? When taken on an empty stomach these can be comforting and settle the stomach, especially the yogurt.
I find meditation right before sleeping eliminates much of the dust from the day and I sometimes start to nod off in meditation. Makes going to sleep easier.
