Woke up at 3am hungry

Okay, so if you wake up in the middle of the night hungry is it just your body adjusting to less food and more exercise? does it mean that my metabolism is kicking in? Or does it mean that I need to eat more? I'm not going to get up at 3am and eat something but just wondering if perhaps I should have a snack before going to bed. I met my calorie goal yesterday.

Just think of how long your body had been without food at that point, possibly 7-8 hours? Just because you go to sleep doesn't mean your digestive system stops working. You can eat a little 100 cal snack, it won't kill you. I always have a little snack before I go to bed as I can't go to sleep when I'm hungry.0
