509-word press-ready health article on the effects late-night eating has on the body. 
 
PREVIEW:
     Eating late at night might interrupt sleep. 
     A large meal late at night may mean lying awake as the body works hard trying to digest too much food. 
     Too little and you feel hungry and unsatisfied, and find it hard to sleep. Finding the right balance that will satisfy hunger and help you sleep is a difficult balancing act.
     For some people, night is a dangerous time. They find it easy to control eating during the day, but consume more during the evening and late at night. They may even wake up during the night and eat more. Nighttime 'binging' adds on the pounds and causes loss of sleep. 
     Research has shown that obesity is linked to not having enough sleep. The hormones that regulate hunger are affected by sleep, causing a craving for instant energy in the form of sugary high calorie foods upon waking up.
