bedtime snack

Pre-sleep small meal

A bedtime snack is a small amount of food eaten shortly before going to sleep.

The term implies something light rather than a full meal—a glass of milk and cookies, a piece of fruit, some crackers.

Parents often give children a bedtime snack as part of the nighttime routine: She had her bedtime snack and brushed her teeth.
