I've woken up really really hungry ( to the point where i feel sick) but I will probably go back to sleep soon. Should i have something to eat now or wait until breakfast?

If you can fall back to sleep, wait til breakfast. If you're unable to sleep because you're hungry, eat0

that happened to me the first few days i started changing my eating.. which today is day 4... i wake up at 3am, have insomnia some nights, and stomach is growling beyond control. i went ahead and had a low cal snack, the thing with that, is when it was breakfast time, which i like to be 8am i wasnt hungry... i didnt eat breakfast til 10am, which is snack time for me.... anywho if you cant go back to sleep and you need a snack of some sort, grab low cal...0

Perhaps drink some water, but don't eat anything.
You don't want to train your body that it's 'okay' to wake up and eat at that time of night.0
