Hi Robert,

Earlier today I was reading the original version of Dr. Atkins Diet Revolution and then just came upon your post in which the same question about night eating was posed in the "Answers To The Questions Patients Most Often Ask" section of the book. It read as follows:

"Q. - I wake up from a sound sleep and can't get back to sleep until I eat
something; that's psychological, isn't it?

A. - Wrong. Nothing could be more physical. There is a 99 percent
probability that it is nocturnal low blood sugar that wakes you up
and sends you to the kitchen. Don't even hesitate, just arrange
for your glucose tolerance test next week."

As mentioned above this is from his 1972 Diet Revolution book so not sure if there was an update to this somewhere down the line, but I couldn't see it in my most current 1991 New Diet Revolution.

Anywho....I see there's lots of others out there who are in your shoes & have offered up suggestions.....so just thought I'd toss this into the mix.

Here's hoping you get a good "right through the night" sleep soon.

Jo
