I've been sleep eating for probably 15 years. I usually wake up ~45 min after I nod off to get something to eat. Sometimes I'm really hungry when this happens, but most of the time I think it's out of habit. I'm not sure why it started. Some say it's stress/anxiety, and others say it's simply a case of not eating enough early in the day, both of which apply to me.
I usually ride only a few hours after I wake up, and I can't do 100% efforts with a belly full of food. A 'few hours' might sound like a long time to digest a large meal, but I still feel like I wanna puke sometimes.
To answer the original poster's question: it might sound very obvious, but I've found that eating more earlier in the day definitely cuts late night cravings (as others have mentioned), and sometimes cuts my sleep eating.
