late-night eating

Post-bedtime food consumption

Late-night eating is consuming food during the hours when most people sleep, typically after 9 or 10 PM.

The phrase often carries negative connotations about health or self-control: I need to stop my late-night eating habit.

It encompasses everything from a sensible snack before bed to raiding the refrigerator at 2 AM.
