Thats not good bro. ANyone would get the munchies from staying up like that. Your body is going to get hungry just like you would during the day. Usually you are fasting while you sleep. If your not able to sleep you are going to become hungry. You need to figure out why you arent able to sleep. You need to get proper sleep or your just doing yourself harm. Seek professional help if you need to but try to get this straightened out.
I dunno what to tell you to eat to satisfy hunger from not sleeping. Thats not really a normal thing to do. I guess you could take a little protein and fill up on water. Ide try to get that sleeping under control so you wont have this problem

First off how old are you.. I will claim ignorance on that one my appologies. Do you work, what are your hours that you work. Do you party, stay out late and wake late in the day..

Give us a little history of your daily agenda so we can help you figure this all out,,Ok

unless your baulking you really dont want to be eating in the middle of the night. try supplementing with melatonin it will help you sleep big time!!!!! I suffer from insomnia I have prescription meds to sleep but I dont take them. melatonin works great I take 2mg a night. also you will have really vivid dreams. however you will wake up a little groggy but thats better then not sleeping. ZMA also works great for sleep and has some anabolic property's

^second cook on the melatonin.... it worked wonders for me. If your going to stay up later and sleep later just adjust your eating schedule on those days. If you have an unpredictable schedule and you have trouble sleeping... eat, its better then allowing your body to become catabolic. Just eat smart.

thanks guys, its just been some stress lately you know? second semester is coming around the corner and so are the bills, relationship is kinda rocky, and im just trying to put every thing together.

**Freak** · 11-18-2007, 10:58 PM

I agree with Cook and Jake. Melatonin works wonders.

42gunz · 11-20-2007, 12:53 PM

it works for a while, i got to the point where melatonin, would put me to sleep, but i would wake up 2 hours later. and i was back in the same situation , only later. but thats just my experience- 42gunz

**JakeVendetta** · 11-20-2007, 02:16 PM

yeah, its not something i would use constantly, maybe try a gaba/melatonin combo. Anyone here ever try L-dopa as a sleep aid?

if u go 2 most supermarkets they have 100 calorie snacks that are great
