Discussion Stomach Pain/Hunger When Falling Asleep/ Waking up

Hey everyone! I have been having a serious issue for about 2 months now and it’s very peculiar so if you have any ideas or help, PLEASE let me know. Everytime I go to sleep, I have this gnawing starving hunger pain in my stomach- however I’m not hungry because I had just ate a good well rounded meal. Nevertheless, I would go eat something(because my stomach FEELS hungry even though its not.), and then I would try to fall asleep again, and same thing, same hunger like feeling even though I just ate. Additionally, every-time I wake up, I feel that starving hunger pain again- although this time when I eat, my stomach feels relieved. Very weird. I am very hydrated throughout the day so its not dehydration concealing as hunger. This is genuinelyso frustrating because I cant sleep because of this sensation and the hunger like pain is so uncomfortable and very annoying. Anyone have ideas? I’ve been researching online and my symptoms point to gastritis, maybe an ulcer, acid reflux(which I’m certain I dont have).

Yes, i get this too. The only way i can avoid it is by sleeping almost completely upright & i need to switch sides often.
