can you sleep well on an empty stomah?

I just read in a magazine (and wouldn't you know I can't find the article now to quote it correctly) something about making sure you don't go to bed with an empty stomach because it does make it harder to fall asleep and stay asleep. I cannot remember the reason why. I can't fall asleep when I'm hungry. I usually get up and eat something small with protein or fiber in it, just to soothe my stomach. Then I can fall asleep faster. My husband says that if he goes to sleep when he's hungry he wakes up feeling full. Weird?? I'm not sure what that's about.

i can sleep relatively ok on an empty stomach. I've trained myself not to eat at night because i'm watching my weight.

I like to have a small bowl of cereal before I sleep. Eight hours is a long time to go without food.

If I am hungry, I can't sleep. Plus I am diabetic so if I ignore that empty stomach feeling, I will start to feel really sick. So now I use glucerna drinks for diabetics and they really help me out.

I can do but it just for a day not for more.

It's a terrible feeling to sleep with an empty stomach. I will go to eat something, even if just a few biscuits. Then it'll make me sleep well.

Like you, I like to have a light snack before I lay down to sleep. Seems like if I don't have a light snack, my belly rumbles and churns and even sometimes burns! If I get to sleep, I awaken several hours later with a burning and churning stomach! Man say that to eat at bedtime will cause weight gain. According to Weight Watchers, it doesn't matter if one eats at bedtime, it is the total clories eaten per day versus those burned per day that causes weight loss or gain.

I can't sleep well on a empty stomach.

i find sometimes when i cant sleep i go to the kitchen and get something to eat. it helps calm me down and then i can get to sleep better. being really hungry keeps me up but then its the opposite in the day if i eat too much i get tired and feel like sleeping

No i really cant! I would definitely wake up and try to find something to bit before going to slepp if ever i am feeling hungry! I always eat some biscuits or a yohurt... And if ever i ignore that i am hungry then i wont be able to sleep properly i will wake up every 1hour lol

I have to eat something before going to bed. My head starts feeling "funny" if I don't.

I cant sleep with my stomach empty. It seems that i can hear my stomach growling and will be force to wake up and open the fridge.

Yes, without dinner. I like it but not everyday. I'm gonna die early then.

I just can't! But only if I'm really hungry. If I had dinners a couple of hours before, it's fine. Just be careful, it's not good for health to eat too much before going to sleep. At this time your body wants to slow down and that goes to digestion.
