When binge eating at night might be night eating syndrome
August 21, 2012
If someone is eating unusually large amounts of food at night, could it represent an eating disorder unique from bulimia and binge eating disorder? We often associate binge eating with evenings/night, in part, because it’s a time when people are in a private space and trying to relax or cope with the struggles of the day. This makes it complicated to distinguish between binge eating disorder, general emotional eating, and night eating syndrome, a related eating disorder with recent research support.
