It is nonsense that you shouldn't eat too soon before sleeping. Your body still burns calories while you sleep, just quite a bit less than during the day. However, you also aren't going to have your next meal for 6-10 hours depending on how long you sleep and how soon before sleep you eat, so you have to nourish accordingly.
