before sleep -> before you sleep

Or, better yet,
"Don't eat before bed." or "Don't eat before bedtime." (I don't think we'd need to unlink any of the sentences.)

The linked sentences are all commands, though.

"Don't eat just before going to bed." may work, though I must remark that only Macedonian has an adverb equivalent to "just", the other sentences may be better translated as "Don't eat before going to bed." which would seem to me to imply "just before" or "immediately before", anyway.
