Sirach 31:19-21
Revised Standard Version
19 How ample a little is for a well-disciplined man!
He does not breathe heavily upon his bed.
20 Healthy sleep depends on moderate eating;
he rises early, and feels fit.[a]
The distress of sleeplessness and of nausea
and colic are with the glutton.
21 If you are overstuffed with food,
get up in the middle of the meal, and you will have relief.
