I have an eating disorder

[kilroy69 1,216]

It has been something I joked about for years. I would go to bed and when I wake up in the morning my kitchen would look like a racoon had broken in and made itself home. I laughed about it and joked about it. "the other kilroy69" I recently explained this to my doctor after not really talking about it to them and he diagnosed me with a Sleep Related Eating Disorder. Some of the things they recommending are me keeping the foods locked up from myself when I go to sleep. I have ZERO memory of doing anything. Like none. I once made an entire meal while asleep that included using the oven(that I left on till morning) I am not obese but at 48 I have a dad bod that I have tried to work on for years only to be stuck at roughly the same weight. Part of the problem has been that when I sleep I binge eat. Like anything. I will wake up and entire subs are gone, half a box of icecreams polished off. In the day I control my appetite pretty well. Eat mostly healthy foods but snack still on junk. At night I become the trash panda and I destroy anything. I am literally considering getting a lock for the fridge that keep me out from 11pm to 7 am. Leave a jug of water out in case I need something to drink. The Dr. of course wants to put me on medication and to do some sleep studies. Anyone else have anything like this? I have been doing it for as long as I remember but never brought it up to my doc. I just chalked it up to it being normal for the most part.  I know. I know. Rats asss. But this is a forum mostly filled with men so I figure I would ask if anyone else has this type of thing. I was hesitant to even say anything as I am sure I am opening myself up to some wonderful comments, but at this point I do not care.

Wow, that's whack!  Never heard of that.  My first reaction is to remove the junk food from your house.  After seeing someone who knows more than I do, of course.  Good luck.

I have removed the junk food but my brain still wants to eat. Even if it is not junk food. I have made full on meals while sleeping. Thanks for the good luck

Wear oven mitts to bed.

I've never heard of this disorder, but that's got to suck.

What meal did you make in the oven?

I freaking cooked some chicken that I was going to have the next day for a meal and it looked like I tried to do some rice too but I spilled it and just left it like that.  I woke up and the kitchen was a mess. the chicken was cooked but it had like 5 bites out of it. The oven was on still and a I had eaten half a banana

Amazing. I mean it seems like the sleep walking is the dangerous part here. Good luck figuring it out, I’d keep asking different docs until I got one that helped,

I've never heard of this. Gives new meaning to the phrase Kilroy was Here. Good luck getting it under control.

I smoke weed right before bed and will wake back up a hour later and do that sometimes, I remember though doing it. Doesn't put much weight on since my materialism is revved up from working out. only drawback for me is sometimes I don't shut the frig good or leave food out. No dad body cause of it though.

I've activated several Dutch Ovens at night - or early morning.

Tl:dr:   your eating disorder is addiction to guzzling jizz?

Now that’s bananas. Do you have a camera set up in the kitchens?

I do not. I should though. I live alone and unless someone is coming in and cooking in the middle of the night and leaving a mess I am pretty sure it is me. 

 

 

It would be a great sitcom episode though if my neighbor was somehow coming over during their sleep and cooking at my house.

 I had a problem with peeing in a refrigerator I had at my first apartment and I had to put everything in ziplock bags. It just stopped one day.

Najeh Davenport is known to take late night dumps in his clothes hamper.

This is a sleep disorder, not an eating disorder.

 

Get one of those invisible fences they have for dogs.  Place it at your bedroom door.  Wear the collar to bed.

[IGotWorms 4,057]

Jeez what if you choked on something? Or ate something inedible? Burned your house down?

I am just telling you what the doctors told me. They called it SRED. Sleep related eating disorder. 

[Hardcore troubadour 14,923]

Tie your wrist to the bed with lots of slack.  When you start walking you will be awakened. You’re welcome.

Not saying that I have not but I seem to clearly understand what is food and what is not. Like I will open a package to something and eat what is in it not just the package.

Since he can prepare/cook/bake food while asleep, he could probably just untie the rope while asleep.

Hence the slack. He won’t notice it until he is on his feet and walking away and then he will be awakened

Not making light of this, but that reminded me of a movie called Fatso.

 

[Patented Phil 1,469]

You think that’s bad, I once woke up standing in the bathtub above a huge pile of poop.  And my underwear was in the toilet.  Talk about a WTF moment.

[kilroy69 1,216]

I also never sleep eat all of anything. Like ever. I always leave half eaten food. Like I am searching for something in particular but never find it or maybe I am being polite for daytime kilroy and not eat all his food. It really does feel like a Jeckyl and Hyde type of thing that I really do not even remember doing this and it is another person.

There's a pretty good episode of Rick and Morty called Night Family. Check it out!

Me. I like to prepare my meals ahead of time for the next day or sometimes days. Keeps me from breaking focus while I am at work and helps me stay in my routine.

Put a webcam in the kitchen and start a cooking show.

Are you taking any kind of sleep medication? I've heard Ambien makes people do stuff like this.

nope. I am not on any meds...as of now lol.  I have been doing this for sooo soo long. I just used to laugh about it till I brought it up to my doc kinda as a joke and he was like "wait what? Are you being serious because that is not normal" Which opened up a more in depth discussion on what is happening.

Back in my drinking days I woke up at sunrise in the back seat of my car parked at a Wendy’s drive thru line. No clue how it happened. Not my proudest moment.
