Beat nighttime cravings.
Researchers have found that dark rooms and the darkness of night make us more likely to overeat. Try scheduling your bedtime for an hour earlier. If you have a favorite program that you like to watch at night, tape it. Switch to brighter light bulbs for cheerier surroundings, you’ll be happier and less likely to binge.

This is soooo true – and I did not realize it till I read this blog! Part of my problem, I think, is there are NO WITNESSES – my husband has usually gone to bed at least an hour before me- so if I go to bed when he does, that would help alot! This is the same problem I have when passing a McDOnald’s – NO WITNESSES… what an eye opener… Thanks!
I can do real good for awhile and then come the chocolate cravings, good grief they are powerful, then I have to start all over again. You are very right about the NO WITNESSES, then when I do get caught I have chocolate running down the sides of my mouth, GILTY is pretty much written all over my face then. HELPPPPP!!!!!
Thank you for continuing to uncover simple facts that can be built into habits to maintain control of our lives and food. I am reminded that a good idea is not a habit until we make it one by daily repetition. Thank you again.
Thanks Franklin! -Dr. A.
