This article begins with a definition of Night Eating Syndrome then describes its prevalence, symptoms, causes, treatment, effects, and disorders that it may be confused with. The information was compiled from six different web sources which are listed at the end of the article. Most of the information was repeated on each page. In the instances that any information was different or only from one source, I indicated so. Also, I have added some information (in parenthesis and italics and beginning with "Author's note") that I picked up along the way and thought was noteworthy. Please remember that I am NOT a medical professional.
