    I am having this same issue with sleeping for an hour, getting up and just needing to eat. Tonight I made like basicslly my bfast but it is 3am. I will wake up then and likely not eat til lunch. Throws my sleep off though. I ate 170 cals of food when I got up. Feel full and like I can sleep now. Had spinach egg white and mushroom with a fourth of a cup of NF greek yogurt mixed with protein powder. Should be enough protein to fill me. I am curious just what treatment is for this.. Sleep pills? I tried all OtC ones and no success.

    The treatment is to eat enough to fuel your body. 1000 calories isn't enough.

    Keeping hydrated throughout the day, making sure you eat a nice high protein meal at dinner time and saving calories for an evening snack should help

    Hunger doesn't cause actual pain that requires medicating. Non steroidal anti inflammatory drug can cause bleeding and damage to the stomach, liver and oesophagus. Common sense says eat a snack or drink a protein shake before resorting to medication

    Well done on your weight loss already, I hope you find the answer and continue to lose xx

    I was talking once a week etc if you had a really bad hunger pang.... And I said alieve but I meant any type of otc pain killer seems to help for me. I also didn't mean to take a handful of them either.

    If you have studies showing that taking a recommended dose of alieve once or twice a week is going to cause stomach bleeding and ulcers in anyone who uses it then you really should publish that paper in a medical journal.

    Using scare tactics and worst case abuse scenarios seems to be a common theme on this site.

    Anyway I don't care anymore... Enjoy being "right".

    You might want to check this out. OTC pain meds are potentially dangerous and you are not using them in a correct, safe or responsible way. Please educate yourself.
