To ask, Do you eat in bed?

[whothehellknows]

... and if so, what do you eat?

For the past several months, I've noticed that as soon as my head hits the pillow I'm suddenly starving. Even if I've eaten a proper dinner, I sometimes wake up ravenous in the night. Then if I don't get up and seek out food, I'll just lie awake for ages. What is up with this?

I've mentioned it to colleagues and a couple have confessed to keeping chocolate bars or crisps by the bed for midnight munchies or coming downstairs for cereal in the wee hours of the morning. Is this something that happens to lots of people?

No

I'm having wotsits currently in bed

Not me, and I LOVE eating.

I'm a secret lemonade drinker

Eating a Carmel egg in bed while reading this

No

Would drinking water help?

gross no, think of the crumbs! pigs eat in their beds. and don't care about itchy crumbs

yes. I'm eating my dinner (bowl of pasta) on my bed now.

my bedroom is warmer than downstairs.

No. Never.
Don't ever want a cup of tea or coffee in bed in the morning.

Yes me and OH do. We've even had takeaway in bed before

Yes, I always take my porridge back to bed with a big mug of coffee.

I never eat in bed.

I used to get ravenously hungry in the night when I was breastfeeding & I'd go to the kitchen for a big bowl of weetabix, but I've not been hungry in the night since.

Maybe try a snack before bed?

Oh no. Absolutely not. Think of the crumbs!

No, I never eat in bed either. It wouldn't occur to me to!

No, but dh does and I get really annoyed by it-the noise of chewing while I'm trying to sleep, the crumbs, the effect on teeth....

Not here. The occasional cup of tea in bed on a Saturday or Sunday morning, but not food.

No but I've found hidden biscuit wrappers under my husband's side of the bed after he's consumed beers!

I also have hot milk in bed before I nod off.

I never eat in bed.

I do have a friend whose Friday night treat is a curry and film in bed. She will also bring a kebab home after a night out and eat it in bed. The thought of the smell of curry or kebab in the bedroom makes me feel sick.

No

I've been known to eat a kabab in bed after a night out, back in my student days but I've never eaten anything between the hours of going to sleep and the morning, even when pregnant.
I'd happily eat breakfast in bed if someone made it for me but I'm not one to leave my bed. Easter eggs in bed are standard.

I sometimes take to my bed with my kindle a cup of tea and some snacks.

[oink]

I don't think it's normal to wake up so hungry you have to eat in the middle of the night.

It is definitely not right to eat in bed.

Don't have a stash of munchies by the bed or anything, but the odd early night with coffee and toast is an occasional (and pleasurable) occurrence

No, I never eat in bed at night and wouldn't dream of getting up to eat after going to bed.

DH brings me toast and coffee at the weekend whilst I stay in be , is that okay?
