Do you eat even before going to bed?

Hey pentagan. I personally don't ever eat anything before i go to sleep, usually. I normally eat my dinner and then 2 hours later i go to bed and sleep. I only eat something right before i sleep (the closest) is when i am watching a film, maybe once every fortnight in the weekend. I usually take out a snack - like a packet of crips. They go well with the movie :P. I don't think it's advisable for you to eat a meal before you sleep, because of digesting issues. Anyways, happy mylotting and gratz on 100th post :P.

in the passt i have eaten a loth before going to bed that is why i have gain some wait but now ai never eat beefore going to bead but my gf eats a lot and she dosent faten up not eaven a 1 lbl i envy hear :P she is so lucky

I often eat before sleeping but that's only because I get too hungry and don't want to sleep empty in the stomach. I think it's more dangerous to not eat when hungry. I do tons of work even until the late evening so it's not unusual to get hungry in the middle of the night. What I do is just stay awake for just a couple of minutes after eating just so I don't sleep right away as I am very much full.

I know the saying... some say the reason why people gain weight is because they eat before they go to bed. Well, in my case that I have really proven that to be very untrue. I eat all the time, whenever I am hungry or want something sweet to eat and I have been the same size since I was in high school and I am about to graduate graduate school this month. I took a year off in between getting out of college. I really don't eat healthy at all. I love sweets. I even had a child who is one year old right now. So, I do not see anything wrong with eating when you are hungry, as long as you do not over do it or if you have health issues, I would not recommend it. Now, I do believe it causes health problems if you eat excessively and all bad foods over a period of time, it will eventually catch up to you. I do not recommend eating the way I do, but I am enjoying life and living it to the fullest. It really depends on the person.

oh man same habit with me , i am always hungry before going to bed even late night when i wake up i go to kitchen and see if i found something in my kitchen , my mom is getting sick from my behavior , and it think eating at night is much valuable because at night calories burn fast lolz so i always keep an apple with me or any other fruit so that whenever i am hungry at night i can eat a healthy food , i used to keep a packet of chips but now a realized that fruits are better than anything for mid-night meal.

I don't eat at night. It is not advisable to eat before going to sleep. If you can't help it, allow 2 to 3 hours to pass before going to sleep. This is a medical fact. My dad is a doctor and he always remind us not to eat less than 2 hours before bed time. The reason is it might cause a syndrome called pancreatitis which is fatal. You must allow at least 2 hours after eating, for the food to be fully digested in your stomach.

Oh my gosh, we're the same. I know it's not healthy to eat before bedtime but I can't help it. I always feel hungry before going to bed so that's why I want to it. But I only eat a few cookies or just a small meal. And I'll wait for like 15 mintues before sleeping. Maybe that's the reason for your bad dreams.

I love to eat even heavy meals before I sleep because it makes me sleepy when I ate something and I even drink coffee after I ate those.

I am a diabetic so i eat 6 times a day and while they are smaller meals the last meal the i have is normally around 10 at night. It is usually a snack like an apple,ornage, celery that is low in calories. I too have heard that if you eat late at night your body doesn't have time to process and breal down the food therefore it stores away as fat but in my opinion that is not the fully true...I think it has more to do with what you calories intake is for the whole day and not just what foods you eat after 9 pm for say. If you eat foods that are low in calories such as fruit and veggies they break down easier and can be digested before you fall asleep...

Well, it's said that you should have dinner at least 2 hours before going to sleep, as otherwise it will help you to gain weight. I don't know if it's true or not. I'm used to have dinner late, as it's a common thing in my country, but I haven't gotten fat because of that. Also having a big dinner can make you have a bad sleep. It's true that if I have a big dinner I have very vivid dreams.

I used to have a really bad habit of eating before going to bed. I would always end up having an upset stomach do to not being to digest my food. Also you aren't even supposed to eat after seven, I don't know what the exact reason is.

Well, it depends. I normally have dinner very late and soon after, like about an hour or so, I would go to sleep. I normally eat late because I wouldn't have the time to cook food and make a "good" meal. But if it also counts, when watching a movie whilst in my bed, I usually get a packet of chips and eat them. I normally feel abit of a stomach ache when I do this, and I always need to go to the bathroom in the night, it can get really annoying as well as painful sometimes.

Everybody should take their Dinner before 2hrs to bed. Its scientifically said that one should not immediately go to bed after dinner coz inorder to digest food it takes atleast some time.moreover there wont be any physical activities after dinner so give some time for the system to digest properly.

I made that mistake, so i can not sleep all the night. I dont recommended.

They say we shouldn't be eating more at nights because our bodies will be resting and no energy is needed. But I guess it's already in our system to eat three times a day, morning, noon and evening. And sometimes we can't avoid to eat more even at night time esp if the food seems so yummy.

Hello pentagan12 this is checkmail and me too often have something to eat before going to bed.Mostly i like to have fruits and ice-reams before going to bed.Mostly its regarded as an bad habbit to eat before sleep but in some cases its exceptional.over it.Yeah i enjoy eating ice creams and fruits before going to sleep, they pleases my mind and even makes mine mood better, can get an sweet sleep.Happy Mylotting.

Hi pentagan: I will say the truth, i do the same as you do and that's because of my anxiety. There's a moment where i simply want to eat no matter if i don't feel hungry just to be "doing something", when i am worried about a problem and there's nothing i can do to make it right at the moment i eat and as you say it's not something good or recommended but it's important to admit what you do wrong to find a solution. Thanks for starting this discussion. Hope you are ok right now. -Alvaro.

sometimes i do it at home, now i am living in other place for work so i do it less frequently.

NO,I eat 2 hours before bedtime as it settles the stomach and get good sleep.Dear friend,stop eating before going to sleep as it may be the cause of your bad dreams.

i am also a frequent eater but i think it is a bad habbit if anyone want to gain his / her weight then he/she follow this good habbit what u say
