WillyPete - You might be a bit out of the ordinary. Caffeine usually acts as an appetite supressant in most people, albeit of a short duration. Of course, caffeine also has bunches of other effects in the body including being a diuretic. I wonder if your increased food consumption was actually a sign of dehydration? As some others in this thread have suggested, hunger is often thirst masquerading.
Back to the thread topic: Someone else might have mentioned this, but you might try preparing and eating regular meals while sitting down at a table. Many people, myself included, make a habit out of eating WHILE we are doing something else. Computer, video games, TV, etc. are just a backdrop to dining and snacking. If you spend the time preparing a quality meal for yourself and focus on eating that food, you might find that you crave snacks less and enjoy your food more.
Many of the other suggestions already forwarded in this thread regarding drinking more water, shopping for healthier foods, avoid having "bad" snack foods in the house, are all good ways of cutting down on your bed eating habits.
