This has been a habit of mine for as long as I can remember. I've always had insomnia, and sometimes I'd eat so I'd pass out. Not the healthiest thing! My go to was usually ramen but I don't buy it anymore because it's not the healthiest (sooo sad :().
Last night I ate leftover taco salad from dinner and had a bowl of cereal. Why must eating be more delicious at night! That's not even a snack -- that's a whole meal and it was after midnight!
Are you a midnight snacker? What do you usually eat?

Not really. If I can't sleep I'll sometimes make myself a bowl of cereal or something.
My parents are, though. They consume most of their daily calories in the middle of the night, I'd say.

Nope. I try to refrain from eating past 8/9pm. If I can't sleep, I go out to the living room and make myself comfy on the couch with pillows and blankets and turn on Netflix.

Usually I am not but last night I woke up at 3, and I was starving! I had leftover dwenjang jjigae with rice. I told DH this morning and he thinks I'm crazy.

I try not to eat late, but sometimes I will cave and have a bowl of cereal if I'm starving.

No, I'm usually in bed by midnight! Although when I was PG, I was always hungry late at night and HAD to eat. I don't miss that part!

@Mrs. Bee: I am with you!
I really try to curb it when I can.. I normally snack on cheese or cereal.
Mmm... *goes to fridge*

I am not particularly a midnight snacker, however if I feel like I may succumb to a temptation, I usually brush my teeth and then tell myself I can't eat. My laziness to brush again usually wins out!

I actually don't think I have ever gotten up in the middle of the night to eat! At least if I have I can't remember it. I've eaten late when I was in college and would stay out late then get food, but I have never gone to sleep then woken up to eat in the middle of my sleep!

I'm usually not, but since I'm breastfeeding and up at all hours of the night now... these days I've become one!

I never have! Well, other than in my university partying days....but that was more to absorb the alcohol!

Yes! I loooooove cold pizza or a cupcake or two. Not very often, but I wouldn't leave pizza in my fridge overnight if I were you!

I'm a stress eater and lately I've been very stressed out... so yes I have had the occasional late night cookie(s). I try to brush my teeth early to keep myself from eating anything to late. Wish it worked all the time!

I'm usually not, but for the past couple of weeks, I'll wake up in the middle of the night and be really nauseous. The only thing that makes it better is to snack on something light. Interesting, because during the day, I usually want nothing to do with food at all. Oh, pregnancy...

Yes! We eat late as it is, so having a late night snack is normal for me.

@Reese: it's not late night right now, but I literally just had a cheese stick and a bowl of raisin bran before I read your comment! Hahaha

My husband and I are night owls! We love firing up snacks after midnight and watching stuff on netflix, its like a tradition. Plus it helps me go to sleep too;)

On weekends I'm more likely too. Right now, I'm usually in bed by 10, haha. But I always essentially eat two dinners: one right at 4:30 ish when I get home from work, and another snack around 9 at night. Today for my first dinner I had some hummus and half a pita and a small bowl of cereal. Worked out at 8, then came back and ate 1 piece of leftover pizza. Am contemplating eating something else. 
And that's not just a pregnancy development, that's always. I just can't go from 12 (when I eat lunch) to 7-8 pm at night without eating.

Lately I'm always really hungry after nursing around 11, so I go fix myself some toast or something similar.

I am when I'm pregnant. Right now I'm eating a bagel with peanut butter. I felt nauseous all day so didn't eat a good lunch or dinner. So I've just been grazing since 10 pm.

No, I'll think about food but I rarely cave!

Only while PG and then now while breastfeeding. Not really before. I tend to eat cheese, nuts, yogurt, or pb - so protein, I guess.

Only when I was pregnant with E. Even then it wasn't necessarily late late...usually I'd need a snack around 9 before going to sleep. My go to was cereal.
