So kind of a weird question but I'm wondering if others suffer from late night snack attack cravings?? Lol  
 
My sleeping pills give me the extreme munchies within 30 mins of taking them. I swear I've gained weight since starting them haha.  
 
What are your go to snacks when a craving hits late in the evening/night??

And sweet and salty and cheesy and and and ... Lol. I usually grab chips because they're easier  
 
Serious though, I have been substituting in grapes and mini-wheats

Serious though, I have been substituting in grapes and mini-wheats for healthier night snacks but still give me something to munch on

Toasted raisin bread with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon, plus a large mug of really, really hot milk flavoured with a pinch of nutmeg.

Mmmm, a fav if mine too but with ice cold milk

Vanilla ice cream with fruit cocktail mixed in....

To satisfy my night snack I usually make some chicken/turkey strips as I need to eat for my meds. But to satisfy my need for crunch I eat dry cereal. I find Crispix are awesome as they are good for you and taste great without all the fat.

Whatever is available... crackers and cheese or peanut butter, veggies and dip, popcorn, toast or cereal, nuts, chips.  
Basically you will eat what's in the house so if it's a weight issue then only keep healthy snacks available and keep the portions snack sized.

I try just eat healthy snacks in the evening. I dont want to consume that many calories that close to bed. Just fruit or vegs. I also drink lots of water or tea. Dehydration can be confused for hunger.

Dry cereal is a good idea!  
 
I basically only drink water but when taking the meds, I crave milk.

Up your protein intake at dinner. It will keep you fuller longer. And consider moving dinner back an hour or so to a later time.  
Yes, you will still get munchies, but sucking on a few salty chips is better than scarfing a whole bag. Or consider munching on trail mix or just nuts. They are high in protein too.  
If that doesn't work, try unbuttered salted popcorn.

with milk, easy to digest, helps you sleep, levels out blood sugar, and satisfies the snack urg with out a lot of calories. just gotta pick the right ones.

if you have to snake pick healthy ones or at least healthier alternatives to what you eat now, cut at least some of the fat, altho necessary in small portions its a killer to weight lose, try and maintain portion control too and dont hate yourself if you are off one night, just remind yourself the next day that you had your splurge that week  
 
other things i do is eat fruit or salad first then have a few chips, ill least less chips that way, if its sweats suck on a candy or sucker rather then having a desert, the sweat taste is in your mouth for longer, if you dont chew them lol, and there is way fewer calories, take one less spoonful if you do splurge and eventually the cravings will stop or you will be satisfied on a smaller portion  
 
 
good luck
