    There are a ton of good ideas here: brush your teeth, go to bed early, save calories and exercise are all things that work for me. One other thing I've done is found something that's relatively healthy and low calorie that can eat later in the night if I want something sweet. My cravings are usually for sweet things.

    My main go-to item is a FiberOne brownie and a glass of unsweetened almond milk. With a total of 120 calories, it's pretty light and it make me feel like I've had a nice treat. The fiber in it helps me keep full which is also nice.

    Honestly, I'd prefer regular milk but I can't really have much dairy so after some trial and error, I've switched to unsweetened almond milk which is the closest thing I've found.

    I second (or third, or fourth) the idea of tea, which I drink pretty much constantly. Another thing I use is those teeth-whitening-strip-things, which I put on a bit after I've brushed my teeth. They actually prevent you from putting anything in your mouth for about an hour, so that's helpful.

    Divide your Daily Calories into Five meals and space them to work with your schedule.

    I go to bed. And if I want to stay up, I brush my teeth. It helps somehow.

    save calories for yourself for a late night snack...problem solved.

    ^^
    I always crave something sweet, and used to have a bad habit of pigging out on snacks late at night lol. Since I usually stay up pretty late every night, I save room for a small meal. Cottage cheese, strawberry jam, and sunflower seeds has been the trick for me. Fills me up and I don't go to bed feeling hungry.

    I drink a lot of water in the evening. Also you can put all sorts of things such as fruit in water in the fridge and when the cravings hit, there is the water with a little sweet taste. My favorite is fresh strawberry/kiwi.

    You can look online for dozens of recipes of things to add to water to give in great taste with barely any calories.

    I go to bed. Sleep cures almost everything.

    Yeah, I do this as well. I also drink a lot of water throughout the day.

    If I have calorie room, I try to eat a protein-rich snack before bed. Cottage cheese comes to mind. Or celery and peanut butter.

    If I don't have calorie room, I drink tea or coffee. The hot beverage makes me sip it slowly.
