Sleep related eating disorder (SRED) is a parasomnia. A parasomnia involves undesired events that come along with sleep. SRED consists of repeated episodes of compulsive binge eating and drinking after waking up in the night. Episodes always occur in an âout of controlâ manner. They tend to occur when you are only partially awake.
The term parasomnia refers to a wide variety of behaviors that occur during sleep. These events are usually infrequent and mild. However, they may occur often enough, or be sufficiently severe or bothersome enough, to require medical attention. The most common type of parasomnia is the disorder of arousal, which includes confusional arousals, sleepwalking (somnambulism), and sleep terrors.
