This advice may hold true for those of you that keep regular hours, but I'm a night person, an insomniac, and I'm also hypoglycemic. I need to eat about 1-3 hours before bedtime, or I'll roll out of bed and pass out from low blood sugar. I usually eat a small bowl of baby carrots and broccoli and sometimes a few thin slices of deli-style turkey. There was a time, up until 4 weeks ago, that I was eating a container of Ben & Jerry's ice cream a few times a week. I was going through a lot of stress and depression. In fact, I've been battling stress and depression all my life, but didn't really start battling my weight until I started having children, and it has become worse after I turned 40. Yes, I'm overweight, and my weight has fluctuated within a 40 pound gain and loss. It's difficult to battle depression, anxiety, insomnia, as well as a myriad of other health issues, much less worry about gaining a pound because had a small snack before bedtime.
