In Jain dharma, laypeople (Shravakas and Shravikas) are generally advised to stop eating before nightfall. The common practice is to have the last meal before sunset and to avoid a full meal after it. This is part of the broader Jain emphasis on non-violence, self-control, and mindful eating.

• Most communities: avoid eating after sunset; if a meal is taken after dark, it is usually limited and not considered the normal practice.
• Differences between Digambar and Shwetambar: the exact prescriptions can vary by community and guru, so there are minor variations in how strictly the night-eating rules are followed.
• On days of fasting or during festivals like Paryushan, laypeople may observe stricter fasts that include restrictions on eating times or food types.

If you’d like, I can look for a specific Jain Knowledge source that discusses laypeople’s meal timing and the Digambar vs. Shwetambar variations.
