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.
As a parasomnia, the phenomenon is similar to sleepwalking--you're coming partly out of deep sleep enough that you can move and possibly talk, but your brain isn't awake enough to be fully conscious.ost sleep-related behaviors are harmless. But sleepwalking can be a dangerous issue, since you can trip, walk into something, leave your house, and even get behind the wheel. With sleepwalking, you're coming out of sleep just enough for your body to move, but not enough for your brain to be awake, says Dr. Winter.
