i eat while i am asleep and i ca n't control it , but i am humiliated by it . i 'm so sorry . i have dealt with a lot of sleep problems and night panic attacks so i know how hard it can be dealing with things like that . i have a friend who does the same thing . do n't be humiliated . you ca n't control it . my doctor said i should tie myself up in a mummy sleeping bag so i ca n't get out . i tried it a few times , but i tore the sleeping bag to get to the nighttime chocolate treats . i hate those things ! they are so restrictive . i wish i could remember the name of the medication that my friend is on that helped her ... let me check with her and see if she texts me back . that would be really helpful , thank you . my doctor has written me off because he calls me an aggressive night eater . sometimes i find that i have ordered a pizza and ate right through the box to get to it . i 've never told anyone that before . do n't feel any shame . the medication is called topomax . it supposedly stops the receptors in the brain that trigger night sleep eating . i also know that if you happen to take ambien , a sleeping pill , go off of it because it actually can cause night sleep eating . take care !
