Does anyone get hungry when they stay up late?

It's now 1am and I'm soo hungry.

But I'm never hungry while I'm sleeping...is there like a psychological reason behind this?

What time do you usually have dinner?

7pm. But we had dinner at 9, almost 10 tonight since I visited my mom at the hospital for a couple of hours. She's doing really fine, she just had a lot of problems last night and they wanted to keep her overnight so she was there all day.

when u want akorns..

And yeah staying up takes more energy or something

Honestly the reason I'm up rn LMAO

Oh, I see...I'm actually wide awake but going to bed really soon since Ik I need to sleep.

Oh, that's that because I had caffeinated soda not too long ago. See what your mind does to you when you stay up so late?

Quote from Yunathehomegirl

That time seems pretty normal to eat dinner

Someone told me it means that you need more protein intake, but I'm not too sure tbh

Yeah...hmm... But I hear people sometimes eat dinner at 3-4pm and that's wayyy too early than what I'm used to.

I have protein every dinner though

So I found that...(this is just me copying and pasting)

That makes sense in a way...it's my body's fault...

Well technically it's my fault but it's not THAT late...

The stomach secretes a hormone called ghrelin that tells the brain you're hungry. During sleep deprivation, ghrelin gets released in larger amounts. As the stomach fills, the body releases the satiety hormone leptin to start appetite suppression.

Are you sleep deprived?

Now that I think about it, I've been going to bed at 1am and waking up at 7 every morning since school ended.

Oh my gosh.

Poor thing

I'm also highkey sleep deprived too, bc I'm always worry about a lot of stuff in the middle of the night

Oh no...I'm sorry to hear that

I get that too but it's a mixture of this and being online way to much.

no where in this entire thread is the word half found? lol

No, it was about the first part because I get strangely hungry when I stay up late but I figured out why and apparently, it's not a simple as I thought...
