Yes, Mary Shammon writes the About.com thyroid entries for the most part. That is where I first saw this topic/suggestion.

2 hrs is not enough for most people. Dinner is a big meal, and with fiber and fat (both slow digestion), there still may be food around, for the levothyroxine to get lost in.

I am taking mine now when I get up in the night to use the bathroom. There is usually a midnight or 1am visit for me.
If I don't get up, then I take it at 4am or so when I first get up.
My TSH anyway has always been good at 1.5-2 taking generic the AM empty stomach way.
