I've noticed a strange but consistent pattern: When I go to bed full, I wake up hungry; when I go to bed not full, I wake up not hungry. This holds for pretty much any amount of sleep that is both overnight and might count as a full night (let's say min. 6 hours), and does not vary above that; it does not hold for naps during the daytime (indeed, if I take a nap while full, on waking I am usually queasy, groggy, and uninterested in food for the remainder of the day). Hypotheses, anyone?

i don't really have a theory about why this happens, but the same darn thing happens to me, regarding the going to bed full and waking up starving and vice versa. interesting to see someone else notice this pattern.

one thing i notice is sometimes if i had a very strenuous day i'll get full faster when i eat, making me feel real full even if i haven't eaten that much. then of course what i've eaten is all burned up when i sleep because my metabolism is revved from the many activities. so when i wake up i'm hungry, even though i went to bed feeling real full.

don't have a clear explanation for the going to bed hungry and waking up not hungry thing. that one is pure mystery.
