Sleep aids to avoid bedtime binging?

I've always had a problem with binge eating sweets, especially right at bedtime, even in bed some times. I started CICO 2.5 months ago and went from 450-386lbs with 2800cal/limit and exercising 30m a day/5(or more) days a week. But every morning around bed (1-3am) I binge, and it doesn't matter if I've eaten caloric dense foods before midnight. I've tried hard boiled eggs, lunchmeat, candy protein bar before midnight and still end up at least wanting a sweet at bedtime. I've managed to address this somewhat by buying Halo Top ice cream pints (330 calories a pint, 20g protein!) or a Built Bar (130 cal, 17g protein!) but I'd like to try and address the issue.

I stumbled upon a Greg Doucette video today regarding best natural supplements for weight loss- his FIRST recommendation is some sort of sleep aid, for people that can't go to bed without eating or people that may wake up from sleep and go grab a snack. I don't have a problem with getting up and grabbing food, but anything possible to reduce or cut out the bedtime snack/meal would be great... anyone had any luck with something like this? Edit: to clarify: I am not one of the folks who wakes up to go grab a snack, I'm just talking about various strategies to try to avoid a bedtime snack (futile as it may be lol).

I'm not talking anything drastic like Ambien or Halicyon or whatever it is - just like, melatonin, say an hour before my estimated bedtime. Thoughts?
