Does anyone else have a problem with eating at night?

Question

How do I stop myself waking up in the middle of the night and eating snacks? I can't not buy things because I live with my family who buy them and I sleep in a room very close to the kitchen which doesn't help. Happens every night.

Answer 1

well.. I had the same problem , the solution is easy, eat before u go to sleep, something contains sugar,, preferable a slow releaser of glucose , like apple,,,, most of us wake up hungry in the middle of the night ,as our sugar (glucose) level drops in our blood, (esp. if u do sport or effort before u go to sleep)

Answer 2

Try and hold out until breakfast by telling yourself what a yummy healthy breakfast you are going to have in the morning. Then when you wake up your cravings will be different and more appropriate to the morning - ie less snacky.

Also have a glass of water by your bed, because you could be thirsty - but your body thinks you're hungry, and then go back to sleep.

Answer 3

in fact it's a bad habit 4 eating any food before u go to bed,it's bad 4 ur stomach 4 digesting the food instead of resting.try to drink plain water only n sleep far away from the kitchen.sooner or later u w'd stop eating anymore at night.

Answer 4

Eat breakfast and eat more during the day. This will help. Also make sure your blood sugar levels are stable. Snack on fruits like apples or whatever.

Answer 5

LOL. I can surely relate. If I have left over pizza in the fridge from supper, I am consumed at 3AM to get up and snack on it. My BR is on the second floor, so it is an effort to walk down the stairs to get a piece of it, but I do. Don't know of a solution for you, so guess just enjoy.

Answer 6

You just have to stick it out and not give in to the craving

Answer 7

shackle yourself to your bed and put a padlock on your frig
