I eat while I am asleep and I can'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. Don't be humiliated.  You can't control it.
My doctor said I should tie myself up in a mummy sleeping bag so I can'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.
Don'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!
