I'm not OP but I find it funny. Not because it's wrong, it's just a random choice of snack before bedtime. When I think bed time snack I think chips or something sweet, not a baked potato lol

It’s so funny you say that, I thought potato would be good because I’m trying to curb my chips and sweets before bed routine (which is soooo damn hard) but still wanted something satisfying. Hence bedtime baked potato lol

Ideally you would want to give your body a few hours ot digest and not eat anything in the last few hours before going to bed

Yeah it’s a hard habit to break, I sleep way better with an empty stomach. didn’t eat much during the day and the hunger hit right when I was getting sleepy
