Therefore, put healthy snacks (such as crackers, walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts) on your bedside table that you can eat as soon as you wake up, and eat them when you wake up. You can put one or two of these in your mouth when you go to the toilet at night. It will prevent you from waking up very hungry in the morning.
