late night snacking
Post-bedtime eating habits
Late night snacking is eating after dinner, typically close to bedtime.
The phrase carries mild self-reproach—late night snacking is something you do despite knowing you probably shouldn't: I need to stop late night snacking if I want to lose weight.
The snacks themselves tend toward comfort food: chips, ice cream, leftovers eaten standing at the refrigerator.
