Night Eating Syndrome

📋Overview

Night Eating Syndrome involves recurrent episodes of excessive eating after the evening meal or during awakenings from sleep. This condition is distinguished from other eating disorders by its specific timing and the individual's awareness of the eating episodes during the night.

Clinical observations suggest this disorder may be linked to a delayed circadian rhythm of food intake. It is frequently associated with sleep disturbances such as insomnia and may occur alongside various mood-related symptoms.
