Feta cheese and walnuts, the mixture of the gods. ---

After waking for a pee just last night I couldn’t get back to sleep because of neck pain (a fibromyalgia thing). NSAIDS need to be taken with food so there I was eating cornflakes. ---

A small hunk of cheese and a piece of fruit. Usually a small apple and a bit of aged cheddar, but whatever combination is available will do. ---

I get those rectangular bars of high cocoa content chocolate, break off a piece and scoop out some peanut butter (the real stuff, not Skippy). Instant gourmet Reeses. No muss, no fuss. ---

> [@bacon](#): > > Seriously… you people need to get a life. > > This is the most stumble-filled cite of losers I’ve ever come across on the net. Talking about what you eat at midnight. Jeebus Christ, people, go to a bar, a movie, SOMEthing other than being a keyboard warrior. Get a hobby, anything, but just leave this place. Nobody loves you here, they just agree with you to promote their own sense of satisfaction that they are wanted, needed, and admired. You’re not. Y’all are a bunch of keyboard losers, and you’ll make NO difference in this world. Go back to Mom’s basement, losers… So… why are **you** here again? 😛 😉 ---

Oh, and for the OP’s question: Cheese and crackers. ---

I eat one of my 4 main meals around midnight. So, whatever lunch is. As far as waking up and eating, I’m usually so tired and fast asleep. If I wake up I would probably have to use the bathroom and be slightly dehydrated. So, water or maybe something else with electrolytes. Maybe a pickle. ---

Another vote for the Cheese Party, but specifically for parmesan. It’s why I buy it. Tho props to Alessan for suggesting feta. j ---

I don’t snack at midnight, but when I do, anything from a piece of fruit to a pretzel or cracker. Maybe a few dozen pistachios, or some cashews. Or really whatever there is around. I’m never really hungry (even when I fast once a year), but I am always ready to eat. ---

Pecans. I have two types: roasted and honey roasted. Sweet and salty. Sometimes a handful of each. I do like a chunk of Monterey Jack sometimes too. ---

PB&J (usually what I have in the house is strawberry, but if I’m in some sort of utopian paradise where it’s available, I choose apricot or peach), and a glass of milk. ---

Lately I have really liked canned fish… sardines, Kipper Snanks, herring fillets, etc. Love them in hot sauce. Pretty cheap at Wal-Mart. ---

Like other posters, I never wake up and feel the need to eat. I might get a drink of water when I get up to use the bathroom. If I got out of bed and started making and eating snacks, I’d never get back to sleep! ---

I’m almost always still up at midnight so I may eat just about anything. Leftovers from dinner, a fried egg, pudding, hot dog, or burrito tops the list. ---

I get those rectangular bars of high cocoa content chocolate, break off a piece and scoop out some peanut butter (the real stuff, not Skippy). Instant gourmet Reeses. No muss, no fuss. I’ve done that, too! All of use peanut butter-out-of-the-jar eaters need to band together and form a club or something. 😃 ---

I have never even once eaten a midnight snack. I’m not hungry in the middle of the night, or when I first wake up for that matter.
