Can you sleep easily when you're hungry?

hi ivy great discussion. I am a diabetic and lately its been a must that I eat a snack before I go to bed or wake up with very low blood sugar. so the snack will prevent that and I can sleep without fearing that awful feeling that comes with low blood sugar, gets to low I faint and do not want to do that again. it does not have to be heavy just raise my blood sugar to a normal 100 or so.

I'm on a diet right now, so, I don't have a choice.

I am also like you. I can't sleep when I'm hungry. When I'm hungry I don't feel sleepy, I just feel the urge to eat. After I eat and become satisfied, then I feel good and sleepy. But I try not to eat right before I sleep because food will not be digested properly in the body.

if i feel so sleepy plus it is late of night then i will just go to sleep ignoring the sound of my tummy.the first thing i will do the next morning is to grab and eat some food.if not then i will eat something for at least to stop the hunger.

No, I can't fall asleep if I am hungry, so if this happens close to bedtime, I go have something to eat, and then try to go asleep, no matter how tired I am.

Hi, I sleep easily when i am hungry.Actually when my mom is preparing food, I feel very hungry then i start sleeping.After that mom will wake me and give the food.

If I'm starving then I can't sleep until I get something to eat no matter how tired I am. I have to eat something even if it is a small snack.

I can't do that. I tried but it was no success at all. I remember last year when there is a storm on our city. There is a huge black out and a lot of places is flooded. The house where i got stranded doesn't have any food for that day because we are planning to have a food delivery in their house early in the morning. Suddenly the water goes up and we can't go down from the 2nd floor. We did not eat for around 24 hours because we need to wait for the flood to subside first. I can't sleep even if I'm really sleepy.

Hi Ivygrey!. I usually can sleep with hungry it depend on how tired I am. honestly when I really tired I don't have appetite to eat. One day when I visit my Dad hometown, I go to one of my uncle farm and we harvest a leek there, its fun. I don't realize how tired I am until when we have dinner and we pray before eating. And you know what I am sleeping in my prayer so you can say I fall a sleep in dinner table.

I can't too. that's why i really have to eat at least 30 minutes before i sleep. There was one time I tried to sleep, but then after 10 minutes i really couldn't because my tummy grumbled already. So I just woke up and ate a light snack then I slept soundly..

Nope first my stomach needs to be satisfies before i go to sleep. I love eating food so whatever i get i stuff it down my throat. I need food to sleep and can't do otherwise.

No, i can not. I have to eat something and then i go to bed.

No, not if I'm hungry. My stomach will keep on grumbling. Usually, it's easier to fall asleep when you're full.

No, I can't. I Can't sleep when I hungry. I will find some thing to eat or drink milk before I go to bed.

I use a form of self-hypnosis and meditation if I am hungry as I don't like to eat late at night. I simply focus on my breathing and feel my body growing heavier and then imagine I have just eaten a large meal and feel quite satisfied. Then I drop quickly off to sleep and when I wake up in the morning, I am still not feeling hungry. The mind is very powerful if you use it corectly, but it can work against you if your imagination takes over. _Derek

I love to eat especially if I’m hungry but if I am really tired I would rather sleep than use up energy to make myself something to munch on, chances are I would probably fall asleep on my food! In regards to my stomach rumbling, when I am exhausted I tend to nod off straight away and do not feel my tummy until I wake up!

Hello there. I'm just like your sister. I can sleep with an empty stomach but the next morning I will have to eat alot to replenish my strength. I always do like that when I'm at home cause there's little food to eat at night.

That usually depends on how sleepy i am. If I am so sleepy, I'd rather go to sleep than to eat. But if I'm not that sleepy, I'd grab a snack or a glass of milk.

I seem to sleep better on an empty stomach. My mother can't sleep if she is at all hungry. I guess most people are like that. Babies have a bottle then take a nap, so I guess it starts early in life. I might not be able to sleep because if there is food in my stomach, my body is trying to digest it.

Nope..its hard.... but sometimes I may fall asleep if I'm too hungry.... Still in empty stomach.. gulp..gulp...drank some water.. will get back after ma break fast...thanks... for sharing.. have a great day/night.....
