So guys I'm very unhappy this morning because I was awake throughout the night and my body just felt like it was in the day. My brain didn't even try to shut down at all. Just kept processing, keeping me fully alert.

This was as a result of not eating last night and it's because I was already full (or so I thought). I had a heavy lunch on my way from work. Stopped by at a Mart and got some cakes and a drink. So I resolved I was not going to stress entering the kitchen again since I got those.

I got home and just relaxed. I still felt full till around 6pm. I brought out my snacks and ate and was very full up until it was too dark to do anything. Then I noticed I was not feeling sleepy. I tried watching some videos to aid me, no way. Then It dawned on me that the night meal i skipped was the cause but I was still full. Huh!

Mehn.. it wasn't a nice feeling at all. Right now, my eyes are sore and my whole system is messed up. I feel exhausted

Who else has had this experience?

I will never skip night meal again. It's a sleep booster.

After a heavy lunch on your way from work, coupled with cake and drink by 6pm, and you're still not full? For real?

No wonder una dey get protruded belly upandan

Lol
Boss what of me that haven't really had a good meal, more like 0-1-0 structure of survival for weeks now
Yet I dey sleep well
I cannot kill myself

I no dey use my stomach play for night ooo, That`s why if i no get enough money for the meal of the day i dey always go on fasting & break in the night with correct egusi & yellow garri

....And how did you arrive at such conclusion?

You said you took snacks and soft drink at 6 pm,meaning you didn't go to bed on empty stomach.
Maybe your body system has been conditioned for heavy meals at night,and it does not mean it's a general thing.

As for me,I don't eat anything once is past 5 pm and it doesn't affect my sleep.

Hmmm.... Some times too I live on 0--0-1 depending on how busy I am but it must come down to night meal and I don't feel it. even if it's suya I chew that night, I'll still fall asleep but this one wow me o.

It not funny.

Lol . Correct!

Omo.. I don learn o. Hm. It wasn't funny at all because everything that happened throughout the night, I heard all. At a point fear came from no where around 2am and I began to pray o. Those small Yahoo boys were blasting music from their car and shouting like owl. Dogs barking. Hian!

....This here has confirmed my earlier statement that you were not able to sleep wasn't because of not taking night food, rather you have something disturbing you which you couldn't place at that particular point in time.

I felt full all through but I think that night routine I didn't do just sent a different message to my brain and yes my body is conditioned to heavy night meals. I mean 9pm to 10. I do this because of the nature of my job as the next day, once I hit the classroom, I don't get to eat until break period. So while other teachers are having breakfast, I'm jumping from class to class so I can cover seven classes before break period and I do this on empty stomach or what is left in my stomach from last night. That's why I don't feel guilty eating so late.

Nothing was disturbing me.

My dear that's what most of us guys( especially students are facing everyday) the little we hustle from menial jobs is what we use to feed, and that 0-1-0 meal structure na even by grace, somedays we just go flat to bed when there's no work to do, its not easy
Sometimes if I no get food chop for morning, afternoon and evening, na to borrow my neighbor some garri soak am make e rise, zip am with bread sleep(like yesterday)
Things too hard for this country
ASUU making it worse with strike
I wish I can get a job, even if its 10k/month but let it be secured
Like today I no get hope of correct meal at all, hoping to help my neighbor go to her farm today and help her harvest cassava so that when she process am, she fit give me small, the would rather borrow me small garri to zip than Lend me small money, even 1k sef
E no easy at all for this kwantry

Hmm...

I will rather embark on a full day of dry fast than deny myself of night meal. Night food for me is the day’s real business.

I still can’t forget the uneventful night I attempted to go to sleep without dinner. That loveless night, I had refused to eat because I was angry with my elder sister. We were still in school. My people, I couldn’t sleep o. My salvation that night was that my sister dished my portion and left it in my room before going to her room to sleep. Around 11pm, I couldn’t bear the biting hunger anymore. I gently opened my eyes and observed to be sure that the coast was clear. I rose up, ate my ego first, drank some water. Looked at the vegetable soup with smooth poundo. I gave thanks and ‘gave thanks’ until my stomach gave thanks.

Lesson: Pride and anger are self-destructive, this I learnt that night.

Stop lying Ma
