    As a diabetic I eat a bedtime snack. In fact with my weird sleeping habits my dietician set me up with an actual meal around 10 PM and a bedtime snack at 1 AM. I go to sleep around 2 and get up at 11 AM. Gotta love retirement!

    If I have something between 7-9pm (our family dinner time), then I will not eat before I go to bed. If I don't, then somewhere between 10-midnight I will get hungry and it will distract me from sleep. I don't eat a whole meal--just something that includes a little fat, a little protein. and some fiber.

    Also, after dinner cleanup I will have 1-2 cups of black tea unsweetened. I like the palate cleansing affect. And it may (since I have been doing this evening unsweetened black tea thing for several years) have become like a pavlova response: BLACK TEA + NIGHT = NO MORE EATING.

    This is my usual. Sometimes things go differently, especially on the weekends with a glass of wine or dessert. Then when I get home and my palate is asking for more sweet, an apertif, some salt-- IF I THINK about having tea before I reach for whatever sugar or salt that is in my immediate thoughts--I can usually exert enough will power to make a cup of unsweetened black tea instead. It is amazing; It deletes/overrides/cancels/neutralizes the desire for another taste of this or that.

    When the calories are used up, I brush my teeth, and usually turn off all the lights in the kitchen.
    If I feel like I need to eat something else, I usually got for a cup of sleepy time tea

    No set time, I eat whenever I feel like it.

    No set time, I eat whenever I feel like it. I would eat in my sleep if I could!

    No set time, just when my calories are used up or I'm not humgry. As I like to eat in the evenings I've usually saved a few for then, also work night shift two nights a week so tend to eat all night then!!!

    The time of day does not determine when I eat. I eat when I am hungry.

    7 or 8 so it gives my food 3-4hrs to digest before going to sleep

    I stop eating when i'm out of calories or no longer hungry. Sometimes I do have calories left but if it's too close to going to bed or I feel it's too late to eat then I make myself wait till the morning. LOL yes i'm going to quote I believe "The Doctors or Dr. Oz" that said don't eat 90 minutes before you go to bed.

    I try to have my last bite of food by 7 or 8 p.m. Otherwise, my food doesn't seem to digest properly before I go to bed and I don't sleep well.
