These situations are known to be very uncomfortable for a lot of people. If you would eat before sleeping, there is a chance that your body will not be able to process the food that you have eaten properly. If you would choose to do this, you can choose to eat something light. Just eat something that will make your hunger pangs go away. If you would choose not to eat, then you may get up in the middle of the night because you cannot ignore your growling stomach anymore. It will help if you know how to schedule when you are going to eat. This will make a lot of difference with how comfortable you would be before sleeping. Going to bed on an empty stomach can interfere with your sleep, which can make you get out of bed during the middle of the night to satisfy the munchies. Studies show that the highest percentage of people who go to bed hungry wake up in the middle of the night to have a snack (or eat everything in the fridge). If you skipped dinner, or have the urge to snack before bed, the best thing to do is to go ahead and have a snack. It all depends on what you chose to eat. For example, pairing lean protein with a complex carbohydrate is your safest and healthiest bet. An apple with peanut butter is an excellent choice. You could also have a yogurt and a banana. Bananas are also helpful in diminishing leg cramps because of the generous portion of potassium in bananas. No one wants to go to sleep hungry. Their stomach may be growling, but eating before going to sleep may cause problems. It really depends on what you eat, but for the most part, people should stop eating a few hours before going to bad. Some people get acid reflux which may be cause or cause more problems with acid reflux if someone eats before going to bed. Eating late may also upset someone’s stomach due to the time that the food was eaten. If you go to sleep hungry, it may not be so bad. You may feel hungry, but you should go to sleep and then you won’t realize you are hungry anymore because you are asleep. You may wake up hungry though.
