Midnight (Early Early morning) Snacking!…

My suggestion to you would be pick a snack at these times that first of all is worked into your daily calorie or macro in-take. You should weigh, measure, and/or re-pack what ever that is and keep that single serving near where you sleep with a large glass of water too. Try to avoid the fridge by choosing foods that will keep. Doing this keeps you out of the kitchen and limits any binge on other foods. I have found this works for me. Your body may only need something small to relax and fall asleep again. Best of success to you!

This was happening to me too a few weeks ago. First time ever in my 42.75years on earth.
My doggie (whippet) would wake up during the night to go for a wee so I would go downstairs and let her out. I'd grab dry crackers or dry cereal and munch away. Often I would totally forget about it until I find crumbs or empty packaging on my bedside table. It went on for a maybe 8 weeks or so, then I just stopped!

I struggle sometimes with staying asleep and every month or two I find that eating something (~2-3 AM) can knock me right out. Since I don’t need any extra calories, I only eat 2 Ritz-like crackers with some water. And I log it as part of my breakfast the next day. Nothing magical about the crackers, I just find it helps.

I've had this problem in the last little while. I'd fall asleep, wake up to go upstairs, grab a snack, fall back asleep. I hated it, and often would be half asleep eating whatever I grabbed.

I've been good the past week or so, and just try and go right upstairs if I fall asleep on the couch. I think it's about breaking the habit and getting through enough days just not doing it. It's not easy though! Good luck 😊

Pre package cut veggies and tell yourself if you choose to eat it has to be that-kitchen closed after 7:00 (heard this a long time ago and it works for me) really nice sweet treat, slice a date in half, sm amount of real pb- dab of dark chocolate on the top! So good, I can only eat two at most very sweet. I know it sounds weird but it taste like a pb cup to me! Really for me all about habit, if you could break that part slowly, maybe only eat snacks 3 times per week then cut back from there? Head games, that's what it is for me....one meal, nite, event at a time! Good luck.
