The acidity of the tomato sauce helps lasagna keep fresh for a longer time than say, macaroni salad. However, it should be refrigerated no more than two or three hours after it has been served (counting that it will sit for 15 to 30 minutes after coming out of the oven). You also have to take into account whether it is July or December. There is a lot more airborn bacteria around in the warm humid July air than the cold dry Decenber air, but don't count on this overmuch. Depending on the freshness of the cheeses you might get away with an extra hour or more, but I wouldn't push it.

∙ 14y agoJust the time to allow it to cool after cooking. With meat foods, it is better to help cool it with running cold water in a larger pot/sink( without getting water in the food). I would say 2 hours, anything shorter is better.
With already cooked food, just take out what you need and do not refrigerate it back.
