A streak of good nights for me when I actually wind down before bedtime. Will do the same tonight. It is so rewarding. And yes, floss/scrape tongue/brush before bedtime feels very pleasant.

What happens then to me is that I wake up at 5AM hungry. I no longer fight it. I get up, have breakfast and either work until I am sleepy and then go to bed or go back to bed right away.

My pdoc agrees that this is far better than waking up at 3AM hungry. At 5AM, it is like having a very early breakfast. At 3AM, it is completely abnormal.
