Sleep-eating?


Posted: Feb 28, 2011

Okay, so my husband has been eating in his sleep.  Sometimes he remembers doing it, and sometimes he doesn’t.  And he eats really weird things.  For a while there, he would drink pancake syrup right out of the bottle multiple times a week.  Last night, he “woke up” standing over the kitchen sink, eating a plate full of sour cream.  Could his sleeping pills be causing this?

Does he take Ambien/zolpidem? - cindy

This is one of the side effects. I take zolpidem and find myself eating more before I go to bed, but once I am in bed, I do not get up and eat. He should talk to his doctor.

No, he takes Elavil -

And I am certain that that is what causes him to get up in the middle of the night. It isn't the eating before he goes to bed that worries me, it is him getting up in the middle of the night and eating all these weird things. What if he tries to use the stove when he is sleeping?

if he never did it before the pills, then I'd guess there could be a connection - talk to the doctor for sure

My son would get up and eat and not remember it in the morning. He did from the ages of about 14 to 17 or so. He was never on any sleeping pills, and I just thought it was a type of sleep walking that he was doing. My daughter is 10 and has been sleepwalking since she was 4 or 5. She doesn't go to the refrigerator when she's sleeping - at least not yet.

Eating MeatApr 24, 2010
Hi everyone!  I am an avid animal lover and find I am feeling increasingly guilty about eating meat and poultry.  However, I have put on some weight and want to cut way down on carbs as well.  Can any of you very informative, intelligent people out there give me some guidance?  My niece is now reading a book about whether or not to eat meat.  She said it is brutally honest about the treatment of farm animals.  I need to make a major change, not only because of ...

Emotional EatingMar 04, 2013
I have put on a lot of weight in the last few years.  Several people have suggested different things on this board to help with appetite.  What can be done to control emotional overeating?  In the past I have not tolerated antidepressants and have had to go off of them due to worsening depression.   I know food is used often to cope with stress, and I truly think it also becomes a habit that is so hard to break.  ...

Eating The Paleo Way Jan 27, 2014
I've been generally slim my entire life.  I'm in my early 50's now and into menopause.  Recently, I put on a lot of weight all of a sudden.  I developed a huge gut, and it was definitely fat, not bloat.  It got so big so fast, it actually felt like my fat "hurt."  I had read about the diet of hunters-gatherers over 20 years ago, but I kind of forgot about it until about 2 weeks ago, when I picked up The Paleo Answer and started eating the Paleo way.   ...

Had To Put My Cat Montgomery To SleepMay 13, 2011
Right now i'm trying to escape intellectually but I cried hysterically when I took him in to get euthanized.  He has been through a lot with me, an awesome cat, even knew how to play fetch.  He stopped eating a couple days ago and started breathing heavily this morning with brownish drool.  He is usually very affectionate but wanted to be off by himself and was not responding, even to tuna and I have a way to say his name that makes him perk up and he would not even resp ...

Hubby and I bought a new mattress over the weekend, it is a Serta Memory Foam mattress.  We actually purchased this at Big Lots of all places, regular $1000.00 and we paid $400.00.  I have had problems with my back for the last several years and generally toss, turn and wake up several times during the night, to the point of finally giving up, getting up and getting on the sofa.  Last night I was extremely skeptical, went to bed and when I laid down on the mattress I felt like I w ...

Our golden retriever, Samson, was 12-1/2 years old.  He's meant so much to our family.  They discovered a tumor a year ago that we chose not to explore because he had renal failure and the anesthesia could have killed him.  Evidently it metastasized to his brain and possibly his spine, and a few days ago he lost the use of his hind legs.  Last night he started having seizures.  He went from 94 to about 72 pounds in the last year.  We took him to the vet ER ...

CPAP MACHINE (sleep Machine) Feb 21, 2010
I got one on Monday and for some reason I take it off at 3am. My DH said he came in later to check on me and I snoring like a logger. When I wore it in the hospital for the test, it was much more comfortable than this one. Maybe I keep the straps too tight so no air will blow out. And maybe after a while I will get more use to it. My DH has had one for about 10 yrs. and I always punched him when his machine made a sound but he hasn't punched me once. In your mind can you imagine 2 people in ...
