What do you do when...
 

Have you ever stayed up late and gotten the munchies? If so, what do you do? Do you get something to eat? Do you ignore it? Head off to bead because you don't want to eat so late?

Usually when I get hungry at night I just turn in since, when it does happen, it tends to be after the midnight hour anyway and I don't really have a reason to be up. That and eating that late really isn't good for you since your body's metabolism naturally slows down at night. However, sometimes I do grab something to munch on. Usually when I do though it's because I need to stay up late for one thing or another (usually pertained to homework). But there are night like tonight when I have no reason to be up, but don't feel like going to bed, so I just ate half a cookies (it was a big cookie) and three crackers. I'm still hungry, but it took the edge off.

What do all you do?

I get the munchies at 3 in the morning all the time! I never go to sleep when I should. But I learned a nifty little desperate-last minute-post midnight snack during my time spent in a college dorm.
When it's 3 in the morning and I don't have a clean bowl, no forks, and can't use the microwave cus it'll wake up your roommate, what I like to do is get a packet of ramen noodles, crush them up inside the bag, open it, take out the seasoning packet and pour it in, then hold the bag shut and shake it up. Tadah! Now I have flavorful crunchies!

I used to wake up at around 1:00-3:00, that's when I eat my "breakfast". But if i'm not that hungry i'll go get the tv and get addicted to another show, while drinking more drinks. I really prefer drinks over food i don't know why XD, sometimes i go wake my maid up and go cook me my food [it's not like i don't know how to cook, it's just because i'm too sleepy to...] she usually burns the food >.< so i stopped making her cook for me and sometimes i order from those 24/7 open shops XD

I cant remember say I've ever felt the need to eat at night, but then I don't feel hunger at all, so if I see or smell something that seems nice I might go for that. Though at night that usually doesn't happen.
Interesting topic though.

I think Ahill is most likely correct. =D

As for me, I have almost always eaten a little something, crackers, a bit of cake and a glass of milk or soymilk before bed my whole life, which seems to work. Or if I haven't eaten dinner yet, I do eat that (sometimes I've worked really late.) I hate going to bed hungry. D=

i don't normally wake up in the night.
i eat my munchies before bed if i have to
or just get a glass of water or juice
but it also depends if im sick or not or if i hadn't eaten much that day.

Lately I've been staying up pretty late myself and not going to sleep until about 5 a.m. or so, since my sister yells at me if I stay up any later. Quite often I get the munchies though whether or not I eat all depends upon if we have something quick in the house. Most of the time we have chips or poptarts or something. Sometimes I'll get a bowl of cereal or something too. There's a couple of nights though that I just simply ignore it and go to sleep.

I don't really eat much anyway so I guess it's only natural that I would get a little munchy at night. When I was in college though most people were up about as long as I was and would usually get just as munchy. On these nights we would send one or more of us to Taco Bell and get either tacos and cheesy fiesta potatos, or just cheesy fiesta potatos. It mostly depended upon how much money we had and just how hungry we were lol. XD

I grab a Popsicle brand sugar free popsicle and a can of 7-UP and eat that then I jog in place and go back to bed..

It depends on how late it is. Usually I drink a glass of water and I feel better, but others I'll give in and eat crackers and cheese.

Lol you know my sister does the same thing, eat crackers and cheese I mean when she gets munchy. Maybe she's been doing some late night munching and that's why all the cheese and crackers are gone in our house. :O

I feel your pain. lol

*cough*

when I get the munchies at strange hours I usually ignore them now, because I have been trying keep from watching my weight....grow lol

Sleeping like a normal person is overrated. *waves it off* .....actually... my gf's work schedule is changing so I'll have to sleep on a normal schedule again. x_x

We don't often have spare food around... but if we do... I might go munch on something. If I'm up 'late' typing away on the computer and hunger hits me I will go wander around in the kitchen and meow aimlessly at the empty cupboards like a lost, hungry cat... (I do this quite often.)

...I'm feeling this way right now but I know we have frozen bean and cheese burritos... which I intend to go after... if they're stuck together that means I'll have to eat two at once... I'd rather only one.

I -hate- getting the munchies at night, but that seems to be the only time of day I ever have the urge to eat! :( I feel really fat eating anything after 8pm (I love my dad to death, but he's given my mom and I poor body image issues because of his strict eating habits. We're too self conscious to eat in front of him or eat when he doesn't.. that also means when he's sleeping). If it really gets that bad though and I can't starve anymore, I'll have a tiny bowl of dry cereal... Cinnamon Toast Crunch is my fav! <3

When I'm up late and get the late night munchies; I tend to make a bag of popcorn. The no butter and no salt kind so it's semi-healthy for you and a light snack that is sometimes filling. And, a reason I try to not keep them in the house, I have a tendency to also go after cookies; like oreo's. Which isn't really a good late night snack. Or if you are honestly hungry and oreo's and popcorn doesn't work; get a hot pocket maybe. ^^;; Personally, I'm usually fine with some popcorn.

I eat. I know I shouldn't but I can't sleep if I'm hungry. Sadly I east more than anyone else I know and I'm still skinny as heck.
