    I honestly brush my teeth and rinse with mouth wash. Usually after I do that, I don't want to eat. lol weird maybe, but it works for me.

    I drink a cup of hot tea or coffee:) caffeine doesn't keep me awake, and curbs my appetite.

    I have this same problem, the night kills me, I hate it. My boyfriend and I stay up pretty late. I'm sure I should go to bed earlier but I don't. I try to find a low cal snack, sometimes it works out.

    I eat! I save calories for the evening, have a snack and a nice cup of cappuccino at 9ish, then an orange or something light before I go to bed. It's the worst time for me too so make provisions throughout the day

    I drink a huge glass of water! If its really persistent even after the water, I will eat something small like a cheese stick. Otherwise I have a bad stomachache the next day. Never let yourself starve, just be smart about your snacking!

    I wander around... wondering why there is nothing to eat in the refrigerator, constantly checking it several times before I give up and fall into despair because we never have food. That, or I find a little something and eat it, and then drink some water because water is good at keeping you from eating. :))))

    I do most of my eating in the evening actually. I eat light throughout the day and have regular dinner with my family. If I'm hungry before bed, I see how many calories I have left for the day and base my snack on that. If I don't have many calories left, I'll just have a glass of milk and that usually satisfies me.

    I've heard that and desperately want it to be true but sadly for me it isn't - drinking water does nothing to stop me from wanting to eat, doesn't fill me up, and definitely doesn't stop me from feeling hungry!
