@patdog122482 Ummm pretty common i would think. My youngest kid is 17 and she will do that sometimes. The only thing i do is go out and make her share her snack. We snack, hang out for a bit then i make her go back to bed.

Sometimes people can't sleep. Nothing to get bent over unless you're out there banging every dish together and leaving a huge mess for someone else to clean.

@patdog122482 During Covid and at- home schooling, my 16 year old would make chorizo and eggs at 3 in the morning. A little more complex than getting a snack. Hell, sometimes I get up and have a snack, but I'm not about to cook anything.

@patdog122482 it's pretty normal to snack. As long as you're not waking up to do it, it's not a problem. Just try to make sure it's a healthy snack like hummus or leftover dinner.

@patdog122482 Our 17-year-old daughter often sits at the little bistro table we have in the kitchen, in the dark, and eats ice cream straight out of the carton.
