I've never gotten up in the middle of the night to eat, either - good
thing, that, given my propensity for holding onto calories.

However, I have snacked after dinner - particularly if dinner was either
very light or very early, or I'm up very, very late.

Snacking at that time of the evening usually cosists of something very
light - a few veggie sticks with a dip or some hummous, or a piece of
cheese.
