Week 8 : Night Eating Syndrome

This week I've decided to research on Night Eating Syndrome. NES (Night Eating Syndrome) is often like BED(Binge Eating  Disorder) but it occurs mainly at night.
Last week I had to do research on what I would be doing, or as my teacher said 'research more of your topic.' So now I have about the next six weeks topics already set. So that's pretty good to me. Another thing I have to go to a pediatric psychologist, since my family doctor diagnosed me with a panic disorder...yay...Note the sarcasm.
BUT! this isn't about my problems, that shall be featured in another blog. Back to the original topic!
NES sufferers are different from BED sufferers, yet people with NES are often binge eaters. People with NES often binge at night, eat less during the day, and don't often binge.
Therefore it's said that most people with NES are often overweight or obese. Which in turn can cause several health problems like any disorder. Below are some that I've found :
  • Gallbladder disease
  • Heart diseases
  • Several types of cancer
NES studies show that people sometimes have a history of substance abuse and depression. They often feel depressed at night. Also they may feel tense, moody, anxious, nervous, ect. during the night.
Usually NES has people eat fatty, sugary foods at night. Some are even sleepwalkers.
I'm so sorry this has to be cut short, but i need to try and get some sleep. aka I keep falling asleep whilst writing this.
Farewell for now.
