What is NES? .
Night eating syndrome (NES) is a type of eating disorder that is characterized by hyperphagia in the evening with 25% or more of daily caloric intake after dinner with not less than two nocturnal awakenings during the week to eat food. Night eating syndrome is characterized by at least three of the following symptoms: strong urge to eat between dinner and sleep, anorexia in the morning and/or during the night, maintenance or sleep onset insomnia, depressed mood, evening mood worsening, and the belief that one cannot sleep without eating. NES occurs along with frequent sleep interruptions. People with NES feel like they won’t be able to get back to sleep without eating. They may wake up several times in one night, and may feel ashamed or depressed.
