Can you sleep while hungry?

I already deal with discomfort between my back and hip, plus anxiety. If I go to bed even a bit hungry I’m not going to sleep. Something warm and a bit heavy about an hour before bed is usually enough. Week nights are easy: I usually make more food than I can fit in my thermos for work so I log the entire meal made, and whatever doesn’t fit I put in a seperate dish to reheat about an hour before bed. I’ve noticed the nights this happens Fitbit reports higher sleep scores and I tend to feel more energized the next day, so I’m sticking to pre-bed snacks.

I’m about to right now lol. Ive been 200-300 under my calorie goal
Almost every day for a couple of weeks and I think it’s caught up to me; my stomach is growling 2 hours post meal. ALL DAY.

Why not eat something? Your mfp calorie goal already includes the deficit you requested, there's no good reason to consistently eat measurably less.

I can’t sleep when I’m hungry and I also find that a couple of crackers before bed can sometimes help me fall asleep if I’m having issues. With that said, I do go through periods when I feel “hunger” grumbling all the time, sometimes to the point that it wakes me up. I figured out that when this starts happening it’s actually becaise I’m producing extra stomach acid and if I do a 14 day course of Prevacid or Prilosec OTC it will go away. I’m not sure what sets it off but I do know it’s twarted some attempts at weightloss.

Hungry? Yes. Stuffed? No.
