Sorry to hear that. You have my sympathy. I hope things get better for you soon.

Sleep can be for dinner, but what if you're too hungry to sleep?

very sad. Both scenarios though....would it have to do with poverty in every single scenario?

I mean, you could be dieting or having adverse med reactions or something else internally going on.

Not strictly poverty related, though it's going to be the chief reason I'd think

Sleep for dinner specifically? Yeah, I can't imagine outside of dieting that being a thing unless you're that poverty stricken

Me personally? Can't say I ever remember having sleep for dinner or been too hungry to sleep (that wasn't immediately rectifiable)

As borderline poverty or straight up poverty level as I grew up, always had food. Government subsidized and sometimes from a food pantry, but always had food.

I sometimes have the problem of taking so long to decide what to eat that I'm too tired to eat.

are you the user that is from alabama and is national guard? maybe i'm remembering wrong.

you like that state? it is like much poorer on avg than rest of u.s. ?....like avg. income at least well below calif and ny at least.

Yes. I experienced food insecurity as a kid but more frequently it was because of 25+ years of binge eating disorder as a maladaptive coping response. The last time I experienced it was when I was in the early days of BED recovery and stayed up all night because I couldn't get my mind off of bingeing. I'm binge free over three years now and know how to eat for maximum satiety without issue, so that's all behind me now.

Oh definitely.

are you a man? iirc that is much more common among women. Not saying it isn't possible of course.

Ive gone to sleep hungry but my brain always shuts off hunger in that scenario. Ill wake up a little later to roll over and not be hungry at all. I often go to sleep late at night hungry but wake up in the morning feeling normal and not hungry for hours.

Im often hungry just because of my schedule. I work 2nd shift and generally dont get up until about 1030 or 1100. So Ill eat around 1200. My evening meal I eat around 1800 and thats my final meal. I only eat twice a day. But I stay up until like 0130 or 0200. So when I go to bed Im often hungry as its been about 7.5 to 8 hours since my last meal.

But Im not going to eat that late right before bed. So I go to bed hungry because I know itll go away.

I am. It is more common among women but not by much, especially compared to anorexia and bulimia rates. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the most common eating disorder for men.
