I sort of like that feeling.... not starving hungry - just hungery a little bit - it makes me feel like it is working...

    There is a feeling that I used to call "hungry", but now I have realized it's just "not full". Big difference, but I didn't really differentiate before. I'm fine with going to bed with that feeling. Not hungry though. I don't do the hunger thing.

    I hate it. I like to cram food in right before bed and go to bed full. Love it.

    Glad you found something you enjoy though!

    Ditto! I never manage to fall asleep with the uneasy feeling of impending hunger.

    Me too, I usually finish eating about 20 minutes before I go to bed.

    Nothing wrong with that as long as you are eating enough throughout the day.

    I figure if my body is lacking nutrition enough to actually feel hungry I better feed it. Hate going to bed hungry, makes me feel miserable and a great way to lose motivation.

    I must go to bed full or I can't sleep. I can be hungry during the day though.

    I have gotten into the routine of replacing my late night snack for a cup of hot tea. Decaf chai is my choice. It satisfies my taste buds, and doesn't make me feel guilty when I know I'm not really hungry and I can still fight off my cravings. It is okay to go to bed a little hungry-not ravenous. I know I've eaten enough through out the day.

    It's probably because we're eating much less now.. so i dont mind that feeling.
    But starving myself is a big no..

    Bedtime is the hardest time for me.
    Not so much any longer, but getting past this was a huge challenge.

    I used to awaken at night when I knew everybody was asleep and eat dinner all over again, then go to bed STUFFED!
    It was hell breaking that bad habit, but I did, yet still have the cravings.

    You can also overcome this.

    I can't go to bed hungry, or else I will not sleep. When this is the case, I'll give in and have a glass of milk to tide me over until breakfast. Usually though, I have a decent dinner two or three hours before bed so I'm not hungry later.
