This is what my friend told me. No cereal before bed.
Yes, when I followed the low-carb way of eating, I'd sleep through the night and wake up groggy. If I have a vegetarian (higher carb) meal at night, and/or have a sugary snack before bedtime, I'll wake up 3:30, 4:30.

That quoted message looks like something I wrote, except for the last sentence.
