Night eating syndrome is a disorder where a person consumes a significant portion of their total daily food intake during the night. Synonyms for this disorder include nocturnal eating disorder, night eating disorder, and night eating behavior. Other related terms include sleep-related eating disorder, which involves eating while sleepwalking or during other abnormal sleep behaviors, and binge eating disorder, which is a condition where a person experiences recurrent episodes of overeating. Some people may also refer to night eating syndrome as "midnight snacking," although this term does not fully encompass the severity and complexity of the disorder. Treatment for night eating syndrome typically involves therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes to improve sleep and eating habits.
