I think all snacks should be avoided before you go to bed. Yogurt has it's sugar unless you do a fair share of activity (in or out of bed)to burn off the calories before you go to sleep. :)
-
yogurt slows down ur digestive enzymes and hence must be avoided before bed.
-
Most yogurts are high in sugars and fat
-
Complex carbs are actually a better sleep helper than protein which is harder to digest.

I think yogurt contains sugar so perhaps not. I'm not sure if I eat a healthy snack (particularly if you're not supposed to eat anything) but I eat all bran and skimmed milk at night if I'm really hungry.

The stomach needs to be empty for it needs the rest,and when it is doing it's work it could keep you up at night.Water with a bit of lemon is the best for hunger pangs.

yogurt is one of the "help you sleep" foods they tell insomniacs to try.

I would think yogurt would be. I personally usually have a bowl of rasin bran before going to bed. No added sugar needed.

does the yogurt have fruit in it? i heard yogurt that comes with fruit in it isnt very good for you for some reason i do not know off the top of my head (i'll comment later about why not.) if its plain yogurt it should be fine and i wouldnt worry about it as long as you brush your teeth afterwards.

As long as it the lowfat or nofar kind of yogurt with no aded sugar then it will be alright to have as a snack before going to bed.

I hardly ate today. Had a huge salad with beans, brocolli, and romaine lettuce that I split in half for dinner. I was hungry at 10 at night and felt that a light non-fat yogurt (which I added blueberries and two tablespoons of raw oats), did the trick. It satiated my hunger pangs. Ready for bed now.

I love eating yogurt or drinking yogurt drink before I go to sleep. For me, eating or drinking a moderate amount of yogurt before I go to sleep actually helps me sleep. It also does not add onto my weight or make me feel heavy in the morning. I fully recommend yogurt as a night-time snack.
