I usually eat leftovers. I don't eat unless I'm hungry so if I am hungry at X o'clock I will eat and it's pretty much whatever is there. We don't keep snack foods in the house really. So I might have a little leftover rice and turkey and bean chili or a few stuffed grape leaves etc.

I never eat anything after 6:00 pm. No midnight snacks here.

But I remember when Rick and I were younger. We'd be up late and get the munchies. Hamburgers, sandwiches, cookies, whatever was in the house. Rick woke up one time around 2:00 in the morning. He was hungry and wanted me to make him a burger, but didn't want to wake me up. So he purposely started tossing and turning in bed and, of course, I woke up.

What is your problem?

I can't get comfortable.

Why?

I'm really hungry.

Do you know what time it is?

Yes. What's your point?

What do you want?

I'd love a burger.

ARE YOU FREAKIN' SERIOUS?

I think I am.

I'll make you a deal. I'll make the burgers, if you run down to the store and get some Pepsi.

Deal. Have I told you that I love you lately?

Oh, shut up!

And in about 30 minutes, we were sitting at the kitchen table with burgers and Pepsi. At 2:30 in the morning.

(Oh, he drove down to the store. Of course, that many years ago, even convenience stores weren't open all night. But there was a soda machine outside the store....a Pepsi was .25. It worked.)

The moral of the story? Do not try go to sleep when you're stoned. It never works.

Oh, that gave me a laugh :D

Cereal is a big one. But one night I made a bowl in the dark because we had an over flow of company with a 3 month old infant sleeping very near to the kitchen, and I didn't want to be responsible for entertaining a baby at 2:00 in the morning if I woke her up. I made some Cheerios and snuck away, took a bite, and realized I confused the canister of sugar and salt. Salty Cheerios are very, very gross.
If I do now, it's usually a bite or 20 of a delicious dinner we had and I manage to inhale half of the leftovers by morning. A few years ago we made a turkey and my wife wanted to use the leftover white meat for a sandwich the next day, I ate most of it, so I stuck a sticky note on the cover of the bird that said "I love you" with a little smiley face. I think she was annoyed, but I was forgiven.

My sleeping hours can be really weird due to my schedule, so if we base this on hour, it can be anything. But if we are talking about what I eat when I feel hungry when trying to sleep, it is Nutella. Just Nutella, not on bread or anything like that.

I don't usually eat anything after I've gone to bed, but if I feel like eating something before bed, it's usually going to be something quick, like a granola bar, or a spoonful of peanut butter.

I just have never been a late night eater. About 8:00 is the latest I snack. Nuts, a cookie or some fruit are my usual snack choices.

OMG I love this story!!!!

Jon and I have woken up at 1am and hungry for something sweet.
I usually just want a home made cookie or those little debbie chocolate wafer snacks Nutty Bars. He likes these ginger type soft bars from Market Basket..then he is up all night burping so I try to keep snacks hidden so he isn't eating at midnight :lol2:

I try to not buy snacks but then the next day he goes to get ice cream at the local Cumbies. Oh we were snackign on wheatthins the other night...yes it's a bad habit...but we usually watch something stupid at 1am then I get a few hours of sleep after.

When I was a teenager I used to eat an entire sleeve of Ritz crackers laying in bed reading my romance novels with the radio going...remember those days?? :spew::lol2:

...with the cats...
my 'midnight snacks' aren't exactly at midnight. mine are either my dinner or dessert, whichever one i didn't have in the mid to late evening. and it takes place when i get up to give my cats their 'middle of the night snack', after they've eaten. then, back to bed.

I don't like snack food. I like to have a satisfying dinner, all on one plate. That's how I got my nickname "old one plate", because when I go to a buffet I only eat one plate of food. And I'm asleep by 10pm. :D
