Before this WOE I used to wake up in the middle of the night so hungry but I was so tired I'd raid the frigde with my eyes closed! I cant believe that this WOE has cured that! I sleep through the night with out those nightly trips to the fridge.....this is great!

Night-Eating Syndrome



For between 10 and 25 percent of seriously obese people, eating at night is something they can’t control. These individuals suffer from night-eating syndrome (NES), a little understood condition in which those afflicted have trouble falling asleep, wake up during the night and eat large amounts of carbohydrate-laden foods (sometimes without remembering that they did) and aren’t hungry in the morning. Night-eating syndrome was first described in 19551, but it has only recently received serious attention. According to a 1999 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, NES combines aspects of a sleep disorder similar to sleepwalking with an eating disorder and a mood disorder.2 More recently, other researchers have shown that NES is often related to high levels of stress hormones.3 If you think you might suffer from NES, consult your doctor.
