Final question....does anyone else not feel hungry when they should and then ravenous when they should be tucked up and asleep in bed.  I know this might not be a menopause symptom, but thought I'd ask, as it's come along with everything else.

I am eating oatmeal now to try and stop the hunger as it's nearly 3am and I wanted to go to bed a while ago, but if I go hungry I will wake with heart skips, etc.  Earlier I couldn't eat.

It's not just hunger, it's my whole system keyed up and then after I've eaten, my system calms down.  All very odd when I should be asleep, lol

No I'm not, perhaps this issue is linked to my thyroid issues.  I have underactive thyroid.  I find I have periods where I'm not hungry and then real surges of hunger and if I don't eat then (ie delay eating even just a short while) I get the palpitations and skipped heartbeats.

Thanks for your reply though

Maybe make a note about EVERYTHING that you eat/drink in any 24 hours ?  For years I had 1/2 slices of white toast with butter or marmalade but by 9.30 I would be hungry so I swapped to a good muesli-type cereal - which can be eaten dry or with milk.  That seems to be longer lasting.

Think about slow release foods for mid-afternoon? bananas; mixed dried fruits and nuts to nibble; ReadyBrek was useful; Marmite on toast.  I have been bloated lately so have found eating hard work! but like you, by 11.30 p.m., my body is hungry

Are you taking medication for your thyroid condition? Might this explain the variation in your appetite?
