Why do I wake up ridiculously hungry after eating an enormous meal the night before?

But still, I would say that as long as you are otherwise healthy, fit and active and not depositing fat around your waist, it is fine and there is nothing crazy in it.
But again, at the same time, there is a disorder named "Night Eating Syndrome" which is relatively new to medical world. It is more a psychological disorder than physiological. A lot can be written about it here, but there is no point since the matter is already available in the following sites;

Hope that helps.

Eating more complex carbohydrates (vegetables) and mixing in more protein and fat into your meal will help alleviate this.

The stomach doesn't actually permanently expand if you eat more than you usually do. It will stay distended for a day or so digesting a large and/or fatty meal, but that shouldn't be what's causing your morning hunger. Instead it's most likely just a psychological state - if you get used to eating more, your brain wants and expects more.
Could be that it's a survival instinct built in - if you've got the food, eat as much as you can. But if you don't have any food, don't spend any extra energy worrying about it. I don't have any research to back that up though, that's just a personal theory. :)

Why, I have mentioned it here – I would like to say that in a normal dinner around 7 pm, with normal drink, you wake up with normal-hungry. However, eat a huge meal at 9 pm, with huge alcoholic drink, which digest / dissolve all the inner food substance of the stomach within 6-7 hours and you wake up crazy-hungry.
Q: Is there some sort of metabolic science behind this?
ANS: Yes, your assessment of “metabolic science” is supported by the following quote. Occasionally, intake of alcohol in dinner is good for health – suggested by some health specialist.
-quote-
Alcohol has been known to mitigate the production of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which is a hormone that acts on the kidney, favoring water reabsorption in the kidneys during filtration. Alcohol helps to digest food partcicle easly and induces hunger. This occurs because alcohol confuses osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus, which relay osmotic pressure information to the posterior pituitary, the site of ADH release. Alcohol causes the osmoreceptors to signal that there is low osmotic pressure in the blood, which triggers an inhibition of ADH. Consequently, one's kidneys are no longer able to reabsorb as much water as they should be absorbing, leading to creation of excessive volumes of urine and subsequently overall dehydration.

That is very interesting, chemist, but the asker did not say whether he even consumed alcohol, so there are still unknown variables here. I have noticed that the same thing happens to me, but only on occasion. Could it have more to do with what types of foods are being consumed and not necessarily the amount? Or maybe it has something to do with the time? I appreciate your input.

My grandmother says if you eat a ton before bed it will stretch your stomach and in the morning you'll be twice as hungry as usual.
I think it does have something to do with carb and protein intake though.
folklore?

M$The sympathetic system is responsible for secretion of some digestive enzymes such as amylase (for carbohydrate or sugar digestion in the mouth). It is also for glycogenolysis -conversion of glycogen to glucose and gluconeogenesis- formation of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources
The parasympathetic system secretes gastric acid also for digestion
So when you eat around 6,7pm there is normal digestion and food is assimilated in the body.
When you eat at night (9, 10pm or later), the sympathetic system which is does not produce enough amylase for carbohydrate digestion. So even when the parasympathetic secretes more gastric acid the initial process of food digestion never happened so nothing really happens.
Again the process of glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis is slowed since like I said before the sympathetic system slows down at night. This also means that less glucose is made from the liver to compensate undigestion of the food you ate.
So basically when you eat at night food is not digested well for assimilation into the body and also the liver is unable to compensate properly due to decreased sympathetic system. A hunger signal is sent to the brain (lateral hypothalamus) which u feel in the morning.
I hope this answers your question.
This means that your meal will go undigested and then you
