Do you get hungry and get up to eat in the middle of the night?

Yes, I have been known to do this and I did go through a stage of doing it regularly but realised I was putting weight on and still not sleeping properley. It's really not so good eating just before going to bed and is probably best to make sure you are not hungry before you settle for he night. Another interesting fact is that when we are thirsty our brain often interprets that feeling as being hungry and so we eat...try drinking a glass of water if it keeps happening and see if it stops the 'hunger' feeling.

Hi there, Dev.:) When I'm already sleeping I don't feel any pang of hunger because I'm eating full meal during dinner. However, there were times when I stayed up late especially when I'm tinkering the keyboards and I feel hunger would sometimes strikes. I'd often help myself with bread and milk, or chocolates. I don't eat much though for it isn't good for my ulcer.:)

I used to be like that,eating during midnight and yes it is true,it gives extra weight. Now i overcome that kind of habit becoz i need to loose some weight. It is just a matter of disciplining oneself.

Im doing what you shared right now.I study and do my other works only late at night.Everyone feel hungry if he/she soes work at night same like morning.Its normal i guess.I always save some candy or snacks for the night.But it advised not to lose any sleep as it cause many health problems.

i never did that.....i never felt hungry at the middle of night......actually i dont even get up at midnight for toilet....because i just sleep at 10 pm and wake up at 5 am directly....i dont get up at midnight for any reason....but i know some people who eats something at midnight...but i dont think it is healthy thing because it may cause acidity....... happy mylotting

no, you're not alone in this late night snacking fiasco. . . you just have to be cautious of what it is you're snacking on or the pounds can pack on quickly. . . be sure its jsut vegetables or fruits something like celerey is great since it haas negative calories you burn more calories by eating it than you do gain from it itself. so just be smart about it.

it happens to everybody..it happened to me as well..

I used to feel hungry in the middle of the night when i younger but I don't I think you have a high metabolism. I dont east in the midnight because it is not healthy. but if i dont eat well during the day, i eat about an hour before going to bed

Hi devijay78, You have company. I am one of those people who gets really hungry in the middle of the night. I know it is true hunger, because my stomach hurts and won't stop until I put some food in it. I have to be very care as to what I keep in the refrigerator,because I will definitely go for the "good tasting bad for you foods." In other words, I can't have chocolate cake or ice cream in the house. So, I just make sure I have fruits and yogurt, pickles, and other low-calorie foods that I can fill up on, in the middle of the night.

Hi Devijay, I am not used to getting up and eat in the middle of the night. once i drink milk or tea before going to bed, i only get up to pee if not i will be up only once the alarm clock rings on. just be careful maybe just take light snacks so that you will not go to bed so full.

hi,if u take ur dinner to fill up ur tummy u might not get up in te midnight to search for snacks.To tell this is not a good thing .My father too has this habit.Eat full when ur having ur meals.Drink water if u wake up in the midnight.

I do every now and then because I work all through the night into the wee hours of the morning. I seriously need to stop this unbecoming habit. I am so inspired with Biggest Looser but darn I find it hard to eat broccolis and sprouts and all that stuff makes me gag.

you are not alone my friend...lol!i always bring with me some pastries everytime i go home so i'll have a midnight snacks..

ofcourse,eating at night is the single greatest thing ever! :d

You have a lot of company buddy.I actually enjoy eating in the night.The place where I saty gets really hot at times and everynight I get up and raid the fridge and get myself some tasty titbits and down it with a nice glass of cold coffee.My mouth is watering thinking about it.

Sometimes i just get a food craving in the middle of the night. if it won't just go away, i usuallly have to give in to it and search the kitchen for what will satisfy me. I just can't get back to sleep if hunger is calling my name. I think every member of my household is guilty of late night snacking. I can usually tell what anyone had to eat by the dishes they leave behind.

Getting up in the middle of the night and eating is really bad habit.The human system is not designed to face such a contingency. I seriously doubt that there is health problem.After eating full stomach how can you be hungry in the middle of the neight.Urgently consult a doctor. It may be a case of diabetes

...i heard that having a midnight snacks can put more weight on your body...specially sweets and fatty foods...it's not a healthy habit....although, it's not totally wrong if your hungry tummy really wants to have some food,i even do it sometimes, but we should also be more conscious to our health..=)

i usually don't, but there were times that i get hungry late at night so i eat something to relieve my hunger..but sometimes if i'm tired to get up i just return to sleep..haha..i do sometimes lazy..

if I'm so hungry I can't sleep I will get up and eat something...usually something very fattening. So no.. you aren't the only one
