I actually sleep better when not eating before sleep. Sort of a bigger point about this - last year when I was losing a lot of weight I was eating around 1500 calories per day, and I felt pretty amazing ironically. Felt a lot more energetic and lighter, but I basically ate no fast food or any food I enjoy, and it was only this year when I started to be able to eat my favorite food I started to realize I feel a lot worse (basically a little more bloated, heavier, not as energetic) when eating it (things like pizza, burgers, etc). I had to stop with chips and chocolate completely though.

But my point is it feels like that's sort of the issue I'm dealing with right now is not eating much at all reduced my appetite to almost nothing, but I basically had to stop eating any food I enjoy (like pizza, burgers, etc), so I had to choose between food not being a part of my life much (and get stable blood sugar), or eat unhealthy in periods and then feel worse. I haven't come up with a perfect solution but I felt like I couldn't give up the food so...

Edit: Also by the way, regarding sleeping hungry directly, my motivation was that I knew I was losing weight or "accomplishing the goal" when doing it, so mentally I felt good about feeling hungry. I couldn't wait till the next day came around and I had slept and knocked off those hours up until 9 am.
