How did I not realize this before?

I always get ravenous right before bedtime. Binge eating ravenous.... It is my worst time of the day by far. I've been thinking a lot about what got me to this place, bad habits, motivations, addictions, etc. Trying to get my head straight before the surgery. I suddenly thought, I wonder if its my meds. When I had my upper endoscopy the subject came up of the time I take it vs the time I should be taking it. I take a bunch of meds for a variety of health issues. Nine to be exact. I take them all at the same time 7:30pm. So I looked up the side effects of all my meds and put them in a list. Turns out about half of them cause hunger. Say whaaat!! The other half cause sleepiness. Woohoo. So I split them up yesterday and lo and behold I wasn't ravenous right before bedtime and I slept like a baby.

Oh, that is FANTASTIC! I don’t take meds but get ‘head hunger’ from time to time, and I hate it! I am stoked you found such a simple, pragmatic solution!
