Jalera--I could have written that same post (several months ago).. I really don't know anyone else who has ever had that problem.. Before I started CAD-ing, I had those episodes almost every single night. I would go to sleep, and almost every night I would awake about an hour later--so weak, and hungry--it was all I could do to make it to the kitchen to get something. And believe me, I didn't want meat or cheese! There was one night that I was so weak that I dropped a 2 litre bottle of Diet Coke -- just slipped out of my hand, because I was too weak to hold it. And--there were so many nights that I would get up and go to the kitchen IN MY SLEEP to get something. I would have no memory of it the next morning, but would find snack cake wrappers on my bedside table. Oh-and if I ever took a daytime nap--yikes! I was secretly afraid that I was "losing it", and I just knew deep down that there was something terribly wrong with me. I just didn't know who to talk to about it.
I said all that to say this--My personal belief is that there is something that is setting you up for these cravings. In a physical way, not just because you want to eat. You are so right to think of taking your meds at rm, etc. All the things that you mentioned could possibly help you to isolate the problem. I really hope that you find the culprit soon. It's a miserable and scary thing to have happen. Don't know if this will help you or not, but have you tried eating a few bites of protein (and I KNOW it's not what you want during those times ) when you have those night time episodes? I'm thinking it might help calm you a little bit. Please keep us updated--I'm concerned for you..
