    I'm up and I had a snack a little bit ago! Carrots with tiny bit of ranch and a side of two walnuts! YUMMY! Hoping to fall asleep soon...the next four days are going to be way too busy for my body to pull this! :o)

    Yes. Always. I'm an insomniac and I always try to make my last meal something light, so it's normal for me to be up late and starving. I know if I ate, it would be easier to sleep, too...so yes, I hear you, and it sucks. If you can come up with any solutions to this problem, I'd love to hear them.

    I'm up too...and also thinking of something to eat :P I only had 39 cals left so I couldn't really have much but I really, really wanted something. So.....I ate 1/2 of a cinnamon graham cracker (33 cals) with a cup of decaffeinated honey & lemon green tea and I have to say it totally hit the spot!! The crackers were sweet enough to sweeten every sip of my tea...it was great!!

    So here is what I discovered about late night snacking for me. I used to wake up 'starving' around 2am. Not every night, but frequently enough that I knew it was an issue. I would just mindlessly get up and have a bowl of cereal. Then one night I decided to not give in, and after a few times of refusing to give in, it stopped happening. I need to be honest and say that those those nights that I didn't give in, I didn't go back to sleep for hours, sometimes not at all. It sucked. Thing is, I am not sure what the mechanism was that made it happen, but the cravings went away. And now I usually sleep thru the night with no problem. Good luck.

    There is also a brand of tea called Celestial Seasonings, They make a herbal tea called Tention Tamer. This knocks me out. It relaxes you and makes you just want to curl up and fall asleep. Try it it works!

    "celestial seasonings: sleepytime extra" tea is better than any sleeping pill to me (ive never actually taken any so i guess i wouldnt actually know). i dont know why but it really relaxes you and it puts me out, sometimes before i even finish it..
