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 can suggest mindless snacking, emotional eating, or simply hunger that strikes after dinner: Late night eating is ruining my diet.
