When that happens (fortunately it isn't often), if I am really truly hungry
and it doesn't pass quickly I will drink a can of Advant-Edge vanilla shake.
It is 100 calories and just enough to stop the hunger feelings and let me go
back to sleep. If I do that I usually am not hungry for breakfast when I
finally do get up.

According to the book, there are a couple things that cause this to
happen.

Any more ideas? This is an issue I run into quite frequently . . .


sleep deprivation may have something to do with it. if you're up in the
middle of the night, you're probably not sleeping as much as you should.
sleep deprivation is linked to increased cortisol levels, which peak
during
the hours you should be sleeping. insulin levels can also go up if you're
not sleeping enough.

i work night shift. i don't get enough sleep, and it sucks. and i often
find i'm *starving* late at night. i've gained 40 pounds since i started
shift work. i've lost that weight on SBD, thank goodness, but i'm sure
the
schedule had something to do with gaining it. everyone on my shift is
fat.
