Definitely I will not cook at midnight no matter how hungry I am,because I am too lazy for that. If I am too hungry, I will just grab a few pieces of biscuits or make myself a cup of hot chocolate. Or if there is any instant noodles that I can cook with hot boiled water,maybe I will do that. But definitely no cooking at midnight. How about you? Did you have this experience before? What will you normally do if you are hungry at midnight? Please share with me,thanks.

I wouldn't. The most probable thing that I would do is to eat bread and cheese. Or have milk and cookies. I always have these at my counter. Cooking is really not my type of thing to do so I'll really go for instant foods. LOl. Take care =)

Only when I was sleepwalking did I actually cook at midnight. I'd get up in the morning and discover the mess in the kitchen. Thankfully, no more sleepwalking. Now if hungry I just find a snack.

if i don't feel like snacking on any of the snacks in the house i will usually just make something simple and quick like pancakes or scrambled eggs, also depends on how hungry i am

I rarely get up in the middle of the night to snack on something, but I do not usually cook anything. I will just grab up something quick like maybe cookies, cake and some milk. And then head off back to bed. I think that I am just too tired to cook in the middle of the night even if I am really hungry.

I don't cook at midnight. I try to ignore any hunger pangs at that hour it I can't I will either grab some cheese and crakers or make some popcorn. We usually have our last meal of the day between 6 and 7. If we eat after that it is just snacks.

I am not cooking when I am hungry at midnight. Sometimes, I just sleep with an empty stomach. There are times that I will just grab cookies or cup cake if there are anything available. If nothing, I just heat water and put hot choco on it I will be fine. If I feel lazy or tired to go to the kitchen, I just sleep and forget my hunger.

I have also had this experience like you. And choice between you and me is similar.
I think we should have a balance life style. So I support with you o(n_n)o...

I definitely will cook. I make omelets and hotdogs for a midnight snack. It's just like having breakfast at night. If I am too tired to cook I usually open the ref and get as much left overs as I can. I make a lot of sandwiches too. That's because I do love cooking and making different kinds of food. The problem is I am a thin cook. I eat a lot but don't get fat.

Hi there Yenwie84,
Yes, sometimes i hungry a midnight. Like you i like to make warm drink (tea,choco or milk) depend of what is at my drawer that left LOL
When i see cup noodles it's still around, I will pour it with warm water 2 minutes and it's done ready to eat with watching tv. (i love it that way)
You know what, lately i try to reduce this habit because i read that eating midnight will make a big tunny appearance. I just have some warm tea or cold yogurt that i buy before at the circle-k across the street.
Happy posting ,

Nope,i won't cook in the midnight even i'm hungry because it will shorten my sleeping time.I'll just continue to sleep so that i won't feel hungry.But there's few times that i do wake up because i'm too hungry,i didn' cook.I just eat few pieces of biscuit and thats all.

Definitely not. As what you have said, I rather prepare a hot instant noodles or a warm cup of hot chocolate with a two loaves of bread. I usually do not eat heavy meal at midnight because it will just make me awake until dawn.
Anyway, do you know that there is what so-called Night Eating Syndrome (NES)? It is a psychological-physiological disease wherein an individual have different kinds of cravings for foods during midnight or at times that he or she is supposedly sleeping. It is characterized by morning anorexia (no appetite for breakfast), consumption of one-third of total calories after dinner, and having trouble getting to and/or staying asleep. Well, I experienced this syndrome before when I was in mild depression after breaking up in a relationship. (lol)
