My name is sly and I’m a late night snacker. I woke up around 2:30 this morning and had two eggs over-easy, toast, two blueberry eggos, a banana and a big glass of orange juice then went back to bed and slept like a baby. I do this practically every night, so I’m a pro. Now lay it on me. What are your favorite LNS’s? ---

Back in the day, when I was a serious club hopper, My favorite LNS was a big ass glass of orange juice at Denny’s or IHOP with my friends. It helped kill the hangover. 🙂 * * * You say “cheesy” like that’s a **BAD** thing. ---

It’s really easy to make and you can make it in quantity. Toast. I’ll fix myself up four pieces of toast, snack on some buttered bread while waiting for it to pop up, and drink a glass of OJ or milk while eating. ---

Well, I eat a lot late at night but I don’t think it counts because I work all night and sleep all day. So technically, my “late night snack” would be at noon. 🙂 Anyway, I still eat a lot at night even when I switch back to a day schedule. Tonight it is gonna be Cool Mint from Edy’s Dreamery line of ice cream. Yummy! ---

I eat the same thing almost every night, right before bed, no matter what time it is. (It’s usually around 11:30 though) My snack consists of peanut butter, and honey on bread, and a nice tall glass of chocolate milk made with Nestle Quik. It _must_ be Quik though, otherwise I’ll drink the milk without chocolate. Adam * * * “Life is hard…but God is good” ---

How odd, sly, I just read an article this week on a disorder (sorry, can’t remember the name) in which people wake up in the middle of the night ravenously hungry. It is caused (I think, I skimmed the article) by the body not digesting well a certain chemical. Fat lotta help I am, eh? ---

saraam, I think I once read something about that too. I remember being worried that I had that disorder because sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night (or day) I cannot go back to sleep without eating something. It doesn’t have to be more than a few bites, but if I don’t eat I won’t be able to get back to sleep. Strange. I wish I could remember what the disorder was called. ---
