Your digestive system is at work all the time and normally during the day you're eating at more or less regular intervals so there's food in your stomach to be digested.\n\nAfter a nights sleep there's likely to be little left to digest so you get feelings of hunger.\n\nPartly it will depend on what you eat - a 'heavy' meal high in fats and proteins for example, will take longer to digest than a 'light' meal such as a salad.

i would ask you to never skip breakfast due to many important reasons. First, it is normal to not feel hungry when you wake up, however you should eat withing 30-45min after waking up. the reason for this is that your body is in muscle wasting state when you wake up. it has not had proper nutrition while you were sleeping, and your insulin levels are probably quite low. Once you wake up, your metabolism kicks into high gear and if your body does not have food readily available, it will go and canibalise your muscles and break them down for energy. You definatly do not want that, especialy if you are an active person. You should eat every 3 hours during the day, to keep your body fueled for maximum energy and strengh.

Maybe because you eat before sleep precisely so it hurt the stomach muscule bacause the metabolism in your body (in gaining energy of ATP in mitochondria of cells) is disturbed, and maybe also the position of your body when you sleep support the sickness, and maybe also you have an acid problem in ur gastric (there must be a long explanation about it)

Absolutely!  When you are young it doesn't seem to affect you much if you skip breakfast, but your thinking slows down, your metabolism becomes slower (weight gain here, ladies!)  If you get hungry when you eat breakfast, you need more protein to keep your energy stable.  When you skip breakfast, your body is still "fasting" from not eating during the night (unless, of course, you are a hungry sleepwalker, all kidding aside).  Your body metabolism has slowed, so you are burning fewer calories.  However, food is a thermogenic.  That means that your body becomes warmer when you eat, and burns more calories!  I know it's confusing, but there you go.  It is healthier to eat a balanced breakfast.  It helps your body maintain a good metabolism and helps you stay sharp in your thinking and keeps your body functions balanced and regular.  Good Luck with breakfast!

You could have a virus and it caused you to feel like you were gassy., also could be your body just getting rid of something, we do that at times, don't get upset about it, when you go to your doctor mention that you had this experience upon waking up, it could have been something that you ate the day before, also it's not a good idea to skip breakfast.  Sometimes gas can cause you to have that icky taste in your mouth caused by acid reflux, check with the doc on that, don't let it get out of hand if it is happening to you a lot, but if it was just this once I wouldn't fret about it.  You know that your nerves can also act like that, upsetting your stomach is very common when nervous about something.  Hope I helped a bit.  Don't worry that causes an upset stomach too!  Good luck.

There are at least two problems that involve disordered eating primarily at night: night eating syndrome, which is discusssed here, and nocturnal sleep-related eating disorder, which is described on another page on our site. We suggest you read the material on both so you will have a better understanding of these perplexing and distressing problems.\n\n   \n\nSigns and symptoms\nThe person has little or no appetite for breakfast. Delays first meal for several hours after waking up. Is not hungry or is upset about how much was eaten the night before. \n \nEats more food after dinner than during that meal. \n \nEats more than half of daily food intake during and after dinner but before breakfast. May wake up and leave the bed to snack at night. May not be aware at the time of what they are doing. \n \nThis pattern has persisted for at least two months. \n \nPerson feels tense, anxious, upset, or guilty while eating. \n \nNES is thought to be stress related and is often accompanied by depression. Especially at night the person may be moody, tense, anxious, nervous, agitated, etc. \n \nHas trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. Wakes frequently and then often eats. \n \nFoods ingested are often carbohydrates: sugary and starchy. \n \nBehavior is not like binge eating which is done in relatively short episodes. Night-eating syndrome involves continual eating throughout evening hours. \n \n This eating produces guilt and shame, not enjoyment. \n \n   \n\nHow many people have night-eating syndrome?\nPerhaps only one to two percent (1-2%) of adults in the general population have this problem, but research at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine suggests that about six percent of people who seek treatment for obesity have NES. Another study suggests that more than a quarter (27%) of people who are overweight by at least 100 pounds have the problem.

If you feel sleepy after eating, particularly after sweet or bakery products, you are normal. Eating sugary foods causes your brain to make large amounts of the neurotransmitter, serotonin, that makes people fall asleep naturally at night. Eating sugary foods or those made from flour, such as bakery products or pastas, causes blood sugar to rise higher than normal. This causes your pancreas to release large amounts of insulin, which drives one of the protein building blocks called tryptophan from your bloodstream into your brain, where it is converted to serotonin that makes you feel sleepy. Many people can avoid feeling sleepy after eating by restricting foods high in sugar and flour. When it is important for you to be alert, eat foods that do not cause a high rise in blood sugar, such as vegetable salads, nuts, seeds, meat, fish and chicken.

This is cause by the big am mount of Water, milk or any liquids that you consume before going to bed... \n\nRecommendation, avoid liquids 2 hrs before going to bed.

I think it is because you body is not functioning at its best when someone is tired.  So what happens is the person's resistance drops and his ability to warm up.  \nHave you ever noticed that after eating you get cold?  It's because your body is working harder to digest the food and the other bodily functions slow down.  That's also why we feel tired after over-eating.

Don't eat late at night - stop eating around 6-7 pm.\n\nDon't eat any sugar - I gave it up and I've lost weight easily without getting hungry. Sugar increases appetite.\n\nEat plenty of lean protein - it makes you feel full.\n\nGo easy on high GI carbs.\n\nHave a cup of consomme or other low-cal soup before dinner - you'll eat a lot less.\n\nIf you feel hungry after dinner, have a small amount of low-fat dairy, such as diet yoghurt, fruit smoothie or cream cheese for dessert. It helps make you feel satisfied.\n\nMost important:  EAT A GOOD BREAKFAST. It's essential for maintaining weight loss. You feel less hungry throughout the day. Make breakfast bigger and dinner smaller.

I doubt it, but there is cause for me to be concerned.  Something is making you less hungry, and it could likely be depression.  I would go see your doctor just to be on the safe side.  Also he can rule out any other medical issues that might be causing this.

Your age is a tough passage in terms of social and psychological orientation. \n\nYou might feel some kind of stress and try to relieve it with food. \n\nThere are much worse cases than the amount you described here.\n\nAlso sodas usually make you want to eat more. \n\nI would reccomend trying to relax and feel good about yourself. \n\nDon't question eating too much though you may try slightly lowering the amount you eat just a bit, by giving a couple min breaks and check if you're still hungry and hold yourself. Having fun with your ability to control your apetite. \n\nThe point here is to see that you are able to control yourself without being a control freak ABOUT yourself.\n\nIf you can't, don't worry. You're not weak. You can try next time\n\nCheers\n\nPS: and also such food elevates your blood sugar level fast and it falls back fast too, so you feel hungry again.\n\nChips, non wholegrain bagels, white bread, white pasta, white rice, potatoes, candy (anything with glucose in it) make your blood sugar level go high fast. \n\nSo try eating protein, salad, veggies or whole grain products before eating candy.\n\nGood luck

good question, my dad always used to tell me this, here's what happens eating right before sleep causes you to fall into deep sleep very quickly, but here's what happens becuase are asleep so soon after eating, your body has no time to digest the food until you are at a Stage 1 sleeping state, right before you wake up. the dreams you remember all occur in stage one, you essentially ahve hundreds of dreams a night but the only ones htat you remember and see vividly occur at stage one. Stage one therefore is prolonged when eating right before because your body wants to digest while you are resting and it has a lot of food to digest because it hadnt had a chance to digest it earlier

A lot has to do with fluctuations in your blood sugar levels after eating lunch.

Eating 2 hours before bed time or waking up during the night to eat, will cause you to put on weight as you are not burning the fuel in your body while your sleeping. With excess weight you may develop problems that are related to being over weight such as diabetes, heart problems etc
