Sleep related Eating Disorders.
Sleep related eating disorder is defined as having unusual or uncommon eating habits during the night.
When this disorder shows up in someone who is sleepwalking it is called NS-RED. Nocturnal sleep related eating disorder is not as common as sleepwalking but does happen. People who do this eat while they are asleep. They will walk to the kitchen, prepare and eat food without the slightest memory of it when they awake. Should this happen often enough the individual might experience weight gain and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes.
NES or night eating syndrome, is when someone eats at night while they are fully awake. They usually eat because they can not fall asleep unless they have eating. Just like NS-RED if this habit persists the individual can expect weight gain and the risk of type 2 diabetes. NES can be accompanied by the following symptoms and usually lasts two months or longer:
NS-RED and NES are different in that people with NES eat while they are awake. They are similar in that similar in both are a hybrid of a sleep disorder and an eating disorder. Both disorders interfere with a person's good nutrition, can cause emotional distress, and cause weight gain.
Who can get a Sleep Related Eating Disorder?
NS-RED and NES attacks either sex, but are more common among women. Approximately between 1 and 3 percent of the general population has this problem. Interestingly 10 to 15 percent of those with eating disorders also struggle with sleep eating disorders.
A common trait is to diet (starve) during the day to combat the problem. However, this only adds to the problem by leaving them hungry and susceptible to eating at night when control is lost due to sleep and the slower brain wave patterns associated with it. As with other disorders of the mind, some people with sleep related eating disorder are also afflicted with challenges from alcohol, drugs, and other problems.
Treatment for Sleep Related Eating Disorders
For a problem of this complexity, professional medical help is recommended. However, for those who want to try something on their own -- a self help approach there are some things that can help.
A professional will want to do an interview that might include an over-night stay in a lab to examine brain activity during the night. To address the issue of brainwaves, AFRS has the technology to create mp3's with entrainment that can synchronize your brain and lead it into a 'Delta' state where it should be when you sleep.
Sleep aids may or may not help. If a sleep aid doesn't keep you in bed it could create confusion and clumsiness that could easily lead to an injury. Your best choice for self help here is to make use of AFRS Entrainment tracks.
The next vector you want to deal with is the issue of anxiety and stress.
Food can become such a point of anxiety - not because it's food, but just because you have anxiety. That's how eating disorders develop.
- Vannessa CarltonRooting out the cause of anxiety and stress can be problematic. However, AFRS has the ability to address issues that are just under the surface of anxiety and stress such as depression, self-esteem, confidence and motivation.
The next thing to do is to avoid those things that are known to disrupt sleep. For instance even if you think coffee doesn't affect you, avoid it. Alcohol may get you to sleep but it will also ensure that you suffer a poor night sleep and almost guarantee a waking cycle during the night.
You can help yourself by eating small, frequent meals during the day begriming with breakfast. Lower your carbohydrate intake during the day and avoid any form of carb after 6p.m. Carbohydrates will play games with your insulin and blood sugar levels which can trigger food cravings. Protein is a much better option as it is metabolized slowly and stabilizes blood sugars.
