Pennsylvania, called for night eating syndrome to be classed as a
serious illness alongside bulimia and anorexia. Sufferers are
usually stressed and poor sleepers, waking on average 3.5 times a
night. When they wake they snack on food high in carbohydrates,
so-called comfort foods.
In paper to be published in the summer, Dr Stunkard said
night snackers consumed 500 calories more than those with more
regular eating habits and were often obese. Dr Stunkard estimated

disorders. The urge to eat increases during the night as night eaters
become more anxious and depressed. By eating, sufferers boost
levels of serotonin, a pleasure-enhancing chemical that occurs in
the brain.

Tests had shown that people with the condition experienced a
decrease during the night in levels of two hormones linked to sleep
and appetite – melatonin and leptin.
