Eating n bed

I love to eat some vanilla ice cream before bed.

Sorry to say, i am not a great fan of eating in bed.

Do you happen to be a Princess, Youngatheart?

Can’t eat without a napkin, so I occasionally have a chocolate biscuit or similar and hold the napkin so NO crumbs escape.
My bedroom isn’t upstairs so it’s quite convenient to take a hot drink and snack to bed.

Breakfast in bed always - even though I have to get up, make it, and take it back - and a biscuit last thing far too often

Personally I think eating in bed is disgusting, all those crumbs & bits all in the sheets ? I'm one of those people that can feel the smallest crumb imaginable which would stop me from sleeping. I would have to get out of bed & clear the sheet until every speck of dust was gone.

Breakfast every morning served my my DH.

Years ago when I was having sleep problems, a very wise psychologist told me that I had to think of my bedroom as being for the "2 x S's only" - Sleep being one, and I'm sure you can guess the other !) Out went the TV. Out went any eating. Occasionally I have a cuppa in the morning brought to me but only if I'm not well enough to get up - otherwise it's downstairs for that. Sometimes, I get undressed and ready for bed, and then watch something soothing downstairs with a snack, before heading up to bed. But that's it. Works for me.

When we were first married back in the early 60's, hubbie was studying (evening course) for his professional qualificlations. BNack then were both in our early twenties and would sit up in bed, lat eat night, with me using his text book to 'quiz him', and both us eating cheese and biscuits. Great times, great memories - and YES he did pass those exams.

Nowdays, if I eat ANYTHING at all later than abot 7 pm, it will cause me a serious disgturbed night.

Can't remember crumbs causing any problems after light out!!!!

No , never eat in bed or watch telly dont have a telly in our room.Plenty of other things to do in it though.

Even though I asked for fasting tips, I do eat in bed actually (usually watermelon this time of year but sometimes crisps) I'd love better self control as I know it would be better to have a longer break.

Love reading all these posts, it’s making me smile. I can’t eat in bed if I did I would be awake for ages

I have a tip if you get hungry when fasting.
It works for me without fail.
Eat!

Any tips to not feel hungry when fasting for 16 hours? Is it something you need to work up to? I try to do a 12 hour fast, but havent made it any further, though I'm sure its very beneficial.

Saw a Swan Teasmade in Aldi a couple of days ago. Around £45 if I remember correctly.

Eat in a window of 8 hrs, fast for 16

I didnt when I lived in my house as it was too much faff to take it upstairs.
But now I live in a flat so all on one level, on my days off I love to take a cuppa and a couple of biscuits back to bed first thing

Does anyonene else enjoy a nibble once in bed for the night?

I have to admit that food wasn’t the first thing that came to mind when I read this

FannyCornforth I share your pain and have horrible nights but the noise would wake DH and I'd rather he slept on rather than waking up and nagging me to go to the physio/doctors whatever. Enjoy your hot drinks.

Thank you
We have our own bedrooms.
He has his own health issues too, I don’t know how we would be able to sleep in the same bed.
Every night I make him a cup of tea around 3pm
We have to take certain medications with food.
You are either in the chronic pain club or you aren’t

Fanny I would never eat a pot noodle either in bed or out of it!

Aah! Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it!

I have never liked eating in bed, even when I had someone to make it for me. I never feel at ease. I remember my children attempting a Mother’s Day treat for me, many years ago. They had picked up the information that eggs should be boiled for 3-4 minutes, but timed them from when they went into the pan of cold water! Semi-raw egg is not my idea of a treat!
As for making a drink and taking it back to bed in the morning. I just don’s see the point. Once I’m awake I am up. Good luck to those of you who like it, though. We all have different ideas of what is enjoyable.

I agree, I can’t get comfortable doing anything but sleeping, many years ago I shared a bed with a man who used to smoke in bed, seems incredible now.

Breakfast in bed is my idea of heaven. Nothing fancy, just coffee and jammy toast. Lovely !!
