Clinic

  • Nocturnal sleep-related eating disorder (NSRED) is a combination of a parasomnia and an eating disorder.
  • It is a NREM parasomnia.
  • It is described as being in a specific category within somnambulism that includes behaviors connected to a person's conscious wishes or wants.
  • NSRED is a person's fulfilling of their conscious wants that they suppress
  • SRED is conceptualized as a mixture of binge-eating behavior and arousal disorder.
  • SRED should not be confused with nocturnal eating syndrome, which is characterized by an excessive consumption of food before or during sleep in full consciousness.
  • SRED is associated with other sleep disorders
  • SRED is characterized by a disruption of the nocturnal fast with episodes of feeding after arousal from sleep.
  • Compelling evidence suggests that nocturnal eating may in some cases be another non-motor manifestation of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS).


NSRED vs NES

  • Night eating syndromes (NES) are completely awake and aware of their eating and bingeing at night
  • NSRED are sleeping and unaware of what they are doing.
  • NES is primarily considered an eating disorder while NSRED is primarily considered a parasomnia
  • Both are a combination of parasomnia and eating disorders since those with NES usually have insomnia or difficulty sleeping and those with NSRED experience symptoms similar to binge eating.
  • Whether NES and NSRED are the same or distinct disorders, is still open question
