this has hit the news lately, and I believe it is being defined as a sleep disorder, not just an eating disorder.
I have had episodes of this in recent years, too. When I do this, I am awake, but not fully awake, ie, very drowsy/sedated, under influence of the serzone and ativan I take before bed.
I am not hungry when I do this. It is more of a restless sleep thing and I feel like I won't relax unless I eat. Sometimes, I sit and watch tv and eat something (usually sweet, yes) and then I sometimes fall asleep in the chair watching tv, which is another problem.
It happens occasionally. Most nights, I either don't have the urge, or am able to resist it.
I suspect if I went back to exercising regularly it would not be a problem.
