Sometimes we eat our dinner too early around 6pm so we can all eat together, but I go to sleep at 12am-2am and at the middle of the night I get hungry but I really wanna get on with my sleep but I'm so hungry I can't sleep!!! after wasting an hour of sleeping time I finally decide to look if any store is open at that time, if not I end up cooking for myself finish eating at 4am then I can't go to sleep until probably an hour has passed then I wake up at 10-11am... I wake up soooo late but I still don't get enough sleep! that's why I get real cranky in the morning, the same thing happens to me twice or thrice a week... do any of you get the same problems???

I eat something light. Usually fruit, veggie or popcorn. Maybe peanut butter on celery or something like that. If I eat something too heavy, indigestion gets me every time.

My Fiance and I are rather night owls so if he gets hungry during the night he'll tell me, or I'll tell him if I do. I usually will cook him either a pizza bites or maybe fix him a sandwich. It all depends on what we have eaten the night prior, we might just have left overs!

I do that too, though not as bad. I don't go to sleep until 12 to 2 am also and I usually eat dinner around 5 or 6 pm. I often get STARVING around 10 or 11 o'clock, so I will often make a salad to try to stave off hunger, but that never is enough. I try not to eat a lot when I am hungry that late, but I get sooooo hungry. People are always saying it's so terrible to eat after 7 pm, but I'm like what if you don't go to sleep until late? I can't help being a night owl. I have always been that way. It's so hard to go to sleep when you are so hungry. Sometimes if I go to sleep hungry my sugar will crash while I am sleeping and I wake up feeling TERRIBLE. Sometimes, though, I wake up and just eat breakfast cuz I'm just that hungry.

I can have trouble sleeping, but I never get hungry or think of food during the night, ao I guess it could be worse!

..once in a while if I can't sleep I will eat something really sugary, as sugar makes me very sleepy..

if anything could be worse for me, it would be no food around to eat, then i'll end up hungry and sleepy until the sun comes up...

wah, you had a huge responses. Hmmm... If i get hungruy in the middle of the night, i probably going out and order food in the nearest 24 hours restaurant, near from my apartment (they have no delivery service thats why i should walking there), or if im too lazy to leave my room, i just call mcdonalds or pizza hut for free delivery. I dont want to cook for myself. I do also love to drink milk in the midnight. It makes my stomach more full...
The same like you, i cant sleep if im really hungry. I cant sleep... hehee.

For sure I'll find some food to eat. If I'm lazy to go out buy food at McDonald or KFC, I'll just eat maggie mee or cup mee. Otherwise, a cup of hot drink will satisfy my stomach!!!
I have no problem to sleep straight after eating and still can wake up as usual! Yeah!

Well, I make sure that i have food or snacks available in case. So, when i got hungry in the middle of the night i can just get it and eat it! But, there was a time that i forgot to left or buy snacks before going to sleep, so when i woke up so hungry, i have no choice but to take a couple of spoon of my son's milk powder and eat it! :)

When I'm hungry, I usually go down to get some food. I can't sleep if I'm hungry. I usually prepare sandwich and milk.

I agree with you, we couldn’t fall asleep if we feel hungry wake up in the night. I usually will go to the kitchen to hunt something for me to fill up my stomach so as I could fall fast asleep again. I am not picky. I would take any snack I come across. If I could find nothing I would then take a cup of hot milk.

I think if I were you I'd make a snack before retiring! There's nothing worse than waking hungry.
I would go and raid the fridge, there would be something in there to nibble on. Where I am, I'd have to drive an awfully long way to fing a shop open in the middle of the night!
