It is quite common to wake up wanting to eat all the pantry or even go to bed thinking about breakfast the next morning. This may be a small alert that there is something in your day to day that you do not do well, and it is surely related to your diet. We tell you why you wake up so hungry every day and the solution you can put into practice to avoid that craving.
Do you have good eating habits?
One of the worst feelings is going to bed hungry because of not having eaten dinner. Apart from the fact that it will be very difficult for you to fall asleep, you will probably wake up several times during the night as a result of your hunger pangs.
Also, forget that not having dinner will make you lose weight. The only thing you will cause is that the next morning you wake up wanting to eat an elephant.
In counter position we have those who swell to eat before going to bed. It is essential that you dine a couple of hours before going to sleep , so you make sure you have digested and you will not feel heavy during the night. Keep in mind that while we sleep, our digestive system slows down and that is why it takes much longer to digest.
If you get hungry between dinner and bedtime, you can have a light snack that will satisfy you and calm your appetite.
How is your dream
Your sleep also influences the quality of night rest. Our circadian rhythm, by nature, is used to sleeping at night; so falling asleep too early or too soon can alter this rhythm. If you sleep early, it will be normal for you to wake up hungry in the middle of the night or to exceed breakfast the next day; Try to delay your bedtime a little so that you do not spend so many hours fasting.
Night feeding syndrome
Don't you know this syndrome? Those people suffer from hunger that wake them up. It can happen for several reasons:
- You don't eat enough during the day. It is very important that you consume the necessary calories, especially if you do sports regularly. Consult with a nutrition professional how many daily calories you should take to perform efficiently and, above all, stay satiated throughout the day.
- You skip some meals
- You have mood or eating disorders
Normally, these people ingest half of the daily calories after six in the afternoon and they do so through unhealthy foods (ultra-processed snacks, poor quality carbohydrates …).
The same happens with those who wake up with an atrocious hunger, the first thing they want for breakfast are carbohydrates full of sugars that calm their appetites.
