Waking up in the middle of the night starving

[hexagon]

Has this happened to anybody here? How do you cope? I only heard of one person experiencing this, a friend of a friend who was training for competitive mountain biking (hence burning crazy calories).

This happened to me last night, and I tried water and antiacids but I had to have a little bit of something finally because it just wouldn't go away and I really couldn't sleep. I mean, it wasn't just normal hunger, it was full-on big-time hunger. Yesterday I guess I didn't eat so much and I did get a lot of exercise, so maybe that was it. I don't know.

I'm just going to monitor myself and if it happens again, maybe tweak my dinner portions. I was just curious about what any of you have to say.

I am fine all day. Not really hungry in the morning. But the hunger hits around 6p.m. and stays until I go to bed. I'm thinking of moving my meals up several hours. Maybe that will help.

I've never experienced this. If it does happen again, maybe talk to your doctor. It doesn't seem to me like three meals and moderate exercise should leave you that hungry unless something funny is going on.

Hope it was just a fluke,

This has happened to me- although not in the 6 days I've been nosing.

Usually I would go get a glass of milk and then I'd be good until morning.

I don't think that's considered a failure to have a glass of milk (well I drink soy milk)?
