    Hi Everyone,

    i have an annoying problem, I wake up almost everyday at 3 am very hungry but still want to continue to sleep, i wonder what would be the best meal to eat in such case? i am supposed to sleep until 7-8 am after this.

    Regards,

    Drink a glass of ice cold water and go back to sleep. It`s a very bad time to be eating anything,esp carbs.

    Have a shake. It's actually a beneficial situation; you're body is starving for protein at this point I'm sure.

    In the book,Your Body's Many Cries for Water, it talks about dehydration. It says that many people are so dehydrated that eventually the body shuts down the thirst mechanism and switches on the sense that your hungry.

    I think that this has to do with people who drink things like soda, that actually dehydrate you but seem to quench your thirst.

    Caffeine,alcohol,soda,juice. I think an over consumption of diuretic herbs can do the same. i remember i drank a ginkgo biloba tea mixture for a few days. I always felt incredible thirsty few hours after.

    waking up and eating is a great idea. he is also waking up because he is hungry. always listen to your body.
