Nocturnal Eating Disorders

Updated: Feb 19, 2023


June 16, 2022. A goal of my blog is to share information about overlooked eating disorders. In this post, I discuss the neurobiology of nocturnal eating disorders and how they are treated with pharmacotherapy.


Key Points:


  • Throughout the night, someone can experience symptoms of multiple nocturnal eating disorders.


  • Desynchronization of the body's circadian rhythms might cause night eating syndrome.


  • Dysfunction in the brain's reward and motivation processing might cause sleep-related eating disorder.
