In the abstract I've known for a long time that having dinner earlier can help prevent acid reflux. Out of habit, though, I've been eating in the last part of prime time. Until a few days ago, due to having a bad week. It really does seem to be a game changer. In fact when I eat seems to be a bigger factor than what.

It sounds like you've come up with the best answer for your heartburn by not eating right before bedtime while the meal is still settling. Hopefully, that will be the end of the problem.
However, you really should buy a small box of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda next time you go to the grocery store. Half a teaspoon in a cup of warm (or hot) water will clear the pain fast (we know from experience). It's cheap, works well and is good to have on hand in case of need.
The weird thing is that by putting off eating for so long I would also be distracted by hunger a lot of nights. Which made dinner a relief, but still, there wasn't a lot of upside. Just habit.
I do have Arm & Hammer baking soda in the cupboard. I haven't used it for that purpose as of yet. Good to know it's there if I need it, though. Kind of wild that it has so many uses.
