Do you sleep better with a little snack just before going to bed?Or you cannot eat because it gives you indigestion and you cant sleep.As for me i HAVE to eat something because it helps me fall asleep.

I always seem to be hungry anyway..LOL. So yes, do eat something. Sometimes a bowl of oatmeal with sliced up apples, raisins, walnuts, or maybe a pancake, or tuna sandwich, gee, just about anything. I went grocery shopping today and got bags of popcorn, so I think that's what I'll be munching on while watching some TV before I go to bed.

Hi pyewacket :) Umm,i just wanted to come out of my shell from being a little girl with bat wings,to a beautiful fairy goddess,haha!I feel better with this one and like to be percieved as a woman and not a child through the other advatar.I searched for a whole day almost trying to find the perfect one and then i came across her and loved it right away.I wish i was it,haha. I have to eat before bed,if i do not i will wak up in the middle of the night with the munchies.Have you tried the new kind of pop-corn by reden boker that have different flavour pouches that you can sprinkle on the bag of popcorn when its done?Barbe-que,ketchup,parmesan and sour-cream and onion(this ones the best).Very good!Yum,yum. Peanutjar:)

I always have a bowl of cereal before bed. Not only does it help me sleep but I have diabetes and if I don't I will wake up sick in the morning. Have a great day!! AT PEACE WITHIN

Hi peanutjar, hope all is well. Honestly I can't sleep on a full stomach, but if I'm a little bit hungry or have the munchies I will have a light snack before bed. Have a great day!

I generally end up having a snack before bed anyway because I eat supper earlier in the night...and by bedtime, I'm hungry, so if I try to sleep, my belly starts yelling at me. In that sense, I guess it 'does' help me sleep better, lol.
