Hunger often goes away after a little while if you don't pay attention to it. Even if your stomach is legit empty. I slowly changed my routine to 3 meals a day basically by just doing it until it no longer sucks. Doesn't even take that long for the body to adapt.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I find that simply drinking a few gulps of water often grants fast relief. Maybe not the best solution right before bed though lol
If your stomach really is empty and you have chronic heartburn, this may not be the best solution. (It's a gamble for me, anyway.)
In normal circumstances, water does temporary suppress hunger for a bit, for me.
Water gives you heartburn? I've never heard of that, that's odd. I occasionally get heartburn but oddly enough, it usually means I've been sitting down too long. Certainly it's exacerbated by stuff like pizza or too much coffee, but in any case, simply standing up for a few minutes helps me a lot.
The root cause is usually a weak lower esophageal sphincter. Water creates additional pressure in the stomach which causes acid reflux. For me anyway, this is only an issue if I haven't eaten, drink water and then lay down. (It's the laying down bit that is probably key.)
Eating non-junk, low acid foods actually helps relieve some heartburn for me in some cases.
I specifically changed my routine and now brush my teeth straight after dinner. This has stopped me from midnight snacking completely.
Grab a few cheese slices. Teeth don't seem to care too much about cheese.
