These feelings of hunger are sometimes strange. If I have to wake up extra early then I feel as if I have really low blood sugar and need something sweet and concentrated, like an energy bar to get going. If on the other hand I can sleep as long as I want I dont feel horribly hungry when I wake up and dont need to rush to get in something sweet to get going.

I expect that poor quality of sleep (or not enough of it) is the thing that makes us feel tired so our bodies crave energy. Its certainly a nasty problem when we cant sleep enough to get properly rested. In my case these early morning cravings have to be satisfied if Im going to even try to function at whatever the appointment is for which I have to wake up extra early.

that is interesting thought, and it is true for me if i think about it, though not all the time. today though i slept better and didn't wake feeling hungry, which in a way isn't good for me as it is a day off and i tend to skip breakfast thinking i don't need the energy and fuel, even though i will be busy. i will wait until a certain time for lunch no matter how hungry i get, darn ED

Coffee is a trigger for me, maybe try eating before that first cup of coffee. Haven't talked to you in a while. Hope you are doing okay!!!
