Do you eat before you go to bed?

I can't sleep if I go to bed hungry and if I eat dinner early I get hungry before bedtime, so, yes, I eat before going to bed. I know I'm not supposed to, but I do.

I eat before I go to bed all the time or I would wake up in the middle of the night hungry as a bear and then end up having a midnight or later snack attack. So if I am hungry yes I do eat. But I didn't know that about the bananas before..I have on several occasions and recently given my little sister bananas before bed..well now I know not to.

If it is hot, I mean really hot, no, I find I wake up with hot flashs when I do. I haven't done that in years during the summer. But if its winter, and not just before bed, I'll eat a light meal. I don't eat banana's, they agrivate my corn allergy...

I try to not eat before going to bed, knowing that it isn't good for me..If I do, I make it something light like popcorn, so that I am not too full..So, bananas are a no-no?? Gives you strange dreams huh? I didn't know that..

Yes I useally eat befor I go to bed so I don't wake up in the middle of the night hungry. I never heard of not to eat befor going to bed that is the first lol I like the saying about eating banana's befor going to bed and haveing strange dreams lol.

Hi LoveBear, I do eat before go to bed, if I'm hungry, once you hungry, you can not sleep, but I'm not eat so many food you eat, I just choose a cup of hot drink and some biscuit to eat. Don't eat too much my friend, it easier to get fat.

sometimes i do eat but not literally eating heavy just lighter ones that can easily be digest such as drinking milk or oats for that matter..and i dont sleep immediately..maybe after 10 to 20 minutes after drinking milk..

Oh yeah I know, because your metabolism slows down and you can't burn so many calories when asleep as when doing certain activities. And so you might gain weight. But is that the only reason why they reccomend not eating before going to bed? If it is, then it might not affect some people. I always eat before going to bed :) And I just maintain my weight. I can't help it, because I have a certain schedule that somehow I always end up to eat in the afternoon first and then only in the evening (meaning 8 - 9 pm...) Or even later sometimes. It all depends on what I do that day. I usually eat whatever I feel in the mood then. I like bananas :) But I haven't eaten any in the evenings so far as I remember... I never heard about bananas giving you strange dreams, but I did hear this about yogurt. :) I don't know why exactly yogurt, but that person said you'd dream about food all night :) I like to drink milk sometimes before going to bed. I have some problems falling asleep, so I'm trying anything that might help me. Anyway, I don't think it matter the time you eat, as much as when you go to bed. You're not supposed to eat right before going to bed. But if you eat at 9 pm and still don't go to bed until 12, you're ok I guess. You're supposed to eat at least an hour before going to bed. I usually fall asleep at about 2 - 3 am...

Hi Loverbear! It may be tempting to eat at night before bed but I really didn't want to eat during evenings because I was trying to follow my diet plans. The pang of hungriness overpowered my motivation not to eat at night so, I obeyed what my tummy asked for. Biscuits are fine, but whenever I see some leftover rice and viand available, I would eat what was left to be eaten. Happy Holidays!

I try not to and alot of times I don't. My parents would always say not to eat bananas before bed or peanut butter b/c it sticks to your chest. I wonder if there is really any truth to that. I'm with you though if I'm hungry I will eat if not my stomach would wake me up making all kind of noise lol.

i do eat before going to bed but i make sure that what i eat is not a heavy meal because i have discovered that anytime i take a heavy meal before sleeping,i wake up starving and very hungry,but in any case i sleep late so i eat late at night so it really does not make much difference to me

Bananas causing strange dreams? I've never heard of that. Of course, I would not be a good person to test that on because I have weird dreams almost every night. I do eat before bed if I'm really hungry. If I don't, I wake up and feel terrible in the morning because my blood sugar got so low during the night.

I eat before I go to bed, but I've never tried a banana, I wonder what is in them to cause the dreams, maybe you've discovered a new psychedelic substance. I have heard of people smoking the skins, but never any mind distortion.

yes if I am hungry I will eat before bed,,tonight I have had a turkey sandwich,,but wanting something...just not sure what,,,lol

Sometimes I will eat before I go to bed, even though I know it's a big no no. And it's usually something to satisfy my sweet tooth...like a cookie or ice cream or something chocolate. I've had the 'bad banana dreams' too. I've stayed well away from those things at night. LOL

Sometimes i do eat before i sleep but most of the time i would drink a lot of water. It's the temptation of having leftovers from dinner. All those yummy looking food would tempt me to munch on them. Well most of the time i would eat rice with a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Sometimes I would simply cook some pasta or instant noodle to quench my hunger Consuming a lot of water is bad news too. I have to make sure that i wouldn't drink too much water before i sleep.

I have pre-diabetes, so my doctor told me to eat before going to bed to keep my blood sugar lowered in the morning.

I sometimes eat something before going to bed. Not all the time though. I usually just grab whatever sounds good. Sometimes it is healthy sometimes it is not.

how funny! it's the first time that I have heard of the banana story! I think I will try it out later since i have a few bananas in the pantry I usually eat dinner like 4 or 5 hours before i sleep because i find it uncomfortable to be full right before sleeping. Sometimes though i get really hungry and sneak in a bite or two though I usually like to eat the BAD stuff at night such as chips, pizza, chocolate. haha!

Hi loverbear! I'm with you! I didn't learn to eat healthy things before I went to bed either! In fact my mom is 78 years old and is the biggest junk food junkie around! She can sit down and eat an entire candy bar, and I mean one of those big ones like Hersheys or Nestles in one sitting and then eat some potato chips and that will be her dinner! And she is thin and looks nowhere near her age! In fact, I look older than she does! We were never taught to eat the right things, except for dinner and stuff when we were kids. But, after dinner it was whatever we felt like eating! I have always been a night muncher and I eat whatever I feel like too! So if I wanted eggs and bacon that's what I would eat! My usual stuff is cake and cookies and junk, but sometimes I actually want some real food!
