I have this terrible habit of snacking uncontrollably when I am sleepy.

I had the opposite problem when I worked. I went all day without eating and then ate non-stop at home. I don't know if this would help you but a slim co-worker would bring a variety of nuts, veggies, fruits, and other healthy snacks and graze all day. Everyday she would have something different. I always thought it was a smart idea. Good luck getting through the day! LK

I feel for ya, girl...


I have the same problem. Last night, I was studying and fighting to stay awake...water wasn't helping...it's funny; once I grabbed a snack and started munching, I woke right up and was able to concentrate on studying...this makes me think that it's something psychological...it's like my body's telling me that the only way I can be functional is if I eat something during an activity.
