That sounds great. Unfortunately i doubt I could manage that lifestyle. I live alone and work 50-60 hours a week on a fluctuating schedule so it is very difficult for me to meal plan most days. I often get just 1 day off a week. On top of that i have a fast metabolism and work a physically demanding trade job. I find I can't eat too heavy for breakfast or lunch otherwise i end up sluggish.
Due to my fast metabolism and physical job, I am underweight for my height despite above average calorie intake. I tend to do as you did and eat a larger meal in the evening, I'll often actually eat 2 servings about 1 hour apart. However i find that the digestion doesn't keep me up too much, at least compared to the nausea and cramping i experience with an empty stomach. There have been many long days where i try to go to bed skipping dinner and inevitably end up cooking at like 11pm to shut my stomach up and end the nausea.
On top of that, i live in a cold climate and find digesting food overnight can help keep me warm. I keep my place pretty chilly to save energy, both for financial and environmental reasons. Digesting overnight is especially useful if I'm camping in the shoulder seasons or winter.
I find the best strategy for me has been to wear myself out enough both mentally and physically to get a good sleep. On days where i am worn out and actually go to bed when i feel tired 10 minutes is roughly what it would take for me to sleep. My long hours are probably the biggest factor in my sleep issues, somewhat counter intuitively, because I need to "unpack" my day mentally after getting home, which may not be until 9 some days. It also doesn't leave a ton of extra room to wear myself out if I haven't yet. My body will basically vibrate and legs will bounce and shake if i need more physical wearing out.
I may try your strategy if i think i can work with enough food before the evening but i doubt I'll be able to consume enough calories and still be able to work effeciently. I'd say about half the calories i eat are in the evening and thats with a breakfast and lunch that satiate me but don't leave me sluggish. I also work on the road so bathrooms aren't often available. Larger meals in the morning could shift my movements, which tend to happen in morning or early evening, to mid day, which could be problematic.
I'm glad to see improvements but I find the fact they needed to even do a pilot project for this a bit ridiculous. Of course people will have better mobility if the sidewalk is actually clear. Residents reported significant improvemts even while the sidewalks are getting a fraction of the attention the roads gets.
The article also mentions how a plow will often refill the sidewalk after it passes. The city should strive to try to have sidewalk plows follow road plows, especially on major routes and near schools. Having a sidewalk clear "within 24 hours" after a storm is a bit ridiculous. Some storms hit pretty hard, but people still have to work and get places regardless.
Many of the residents who helped report sidewalk conditions in the study have also reported falling due to uncleared sidewalks. This isn't just a mobility issue, it is a public health issue as well.
