Why do I eat at night? It's like I'm sleep eating?!


Question: Why do I eat at night? It's like I'm sleep eating?
I'll wake up full & with bad heart burn and it's bc whenever I wake up in the night (half awake) I go straight to the kitchen last night I pollished off leftover pizza it's unhealthy & I want to know how to stop it. Sometimes I even eat my roommates food & I'm unaware until he tells me or I find the rappers under my bed

Answers:

As with sleepwalkers, sleep eaters are unaware and unconscious of their behavior. If there is any memory of the episode, it is usually sketchy. A sleep eater will roam the house, particularly the kitchen, and may eat large quantities of food (as well as non-food items). In the morning, sleep eaters have no recollection of the episode. However, in many cases there are clues to their behavior. One woman woke up with a stomachache and chocolate smeared on her face and hands. Candy wrappers littered the kitchen floor. The next morning her husband informed her that she had been eating during the night. She was shocked and distressed because she had no recollection of the event.

You really should not eat before going to bed. Because it takes twice as long to burn off the calories and it makes it hard to fall asleep. If you need a snack before bed go with fresh fruit, applesauce, almonds-something light but sleep inducing. If you can't fall asleep try warm milk with honey and nutmeg-it really works, Full of tryptophan.



Try drinking water before going to sleep
