Woke up feeling funny...

I've noticed that if I don't eat a big dinner I'll wake up the next morning with the shakes.  Its weird... My hands are steady, but I feel like I'm shaking.  Almost like a nervous jitter.  It does go away as soon as I eat a little something (usually a nutrigrain bar does the trick). 
I know some people are getting hungry in the middle of the night, but if this is the case for me maybe I'm a REALLY heavy sleeper and just sleep through it?!?

I asked the opinion from a friend thats going through nursing school, and she said its normal.  It just seems odd to me... 

Anyone else going through this?  Would you call your doctor and let them know?

  • If I don't eat a really big dinner with protein, I wake up 2 -3 times needing to eat in the middle of the night..and it sucks since I still can't stand much meat these days.  I am trying to figure it out too :)

  • It's because your blood sugar is dropping from not eating.  As long as you feel fine after eating I wouldn't worry.  But you could always call to be sure.

  • ive been doing this for the past 8 weeks, today was the first day i felt normal when i woke up (hoping not to jinx myself) Good Luck!

     

  • I am the same way, I don't get up and eat during the night at all. In the mornings if I don't eat first thing I feel like I am going to pass out. Once I eat though I am good. I think its just from going so long without food.

  • doesn't happen to me when I wake up but happens during the day if I don't eat.  I try to always have things like granola bars with me to avoid getting that feeling.
  • Low blood sugar.  I keep juice boxes and peanut butter crackers in my nightstand. :)  I also learned that I am *extremely* susceptible to dehydration, which apparently can make you feel like some sort of crackhead, calling the Dr office in a dizzy panic...  Drink lots of water and unsweetened juice, too.
