TLDR
Criteria for diagnosis of the night eating syndrome is an abnormally increased food intake in the evening and nighttime, manifested by consumption of at least 25% of intake after the evening meal, and/or nocturnal awakenings with ingestions at least twice per week.Abstract:
Objective:
To propose criteria for diagnosis of the night eating syndrome (NES).
Method:
An international research meeting was held in April 2008, and consensus criteria for NES diagnosis were determined.
Results:
The core criterion is an abnormally increased food intake in the evening and nighttime, manifested by (1) consumption of at least 25% of intake after the evening meal, and/or (2) nocturnal awakenings with ingestions at least twice per week. Awareness of the eating episodes is required, as is distress or impairment in functioning. Three of five modifiers must also be endorsed. These criteria must be met for a minimum duration of 3 months.
Discussion:
These criteria help standardize the definition of NES. Additional aspects of the nosology of NES yet to be fully elaborated include its relationship to other eating and sleep disorders. Assessment and analytic tools are needed to assess these new criteria more accurately. © 2009 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Eat Disord 2010read more

Role of Sleep Timing in Caloric Intake and BMI
TL;DR: It is indicated that caloric intake after 8:00 pm may increase the risk of obesity, independent of sleep timing and duration, and future studies should investigate the biological and social mechanisms linking timing of sleep and feeding in order to develop novel time‐based interventions for weight management.

The Effects of Light at Night on Circadian Clocks and Metabolism
Laura K. Fonken,Randy J. Nelson +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that exposure to light at night alters metabolic function through disruption of the circadian system, and current experimental and epidemiological work directly associating exposure toLight at night and metabolism is reviewed.

Metabolic Consequences of Sleep and Circadian Disorders
TL;DR: Some findings indicate sleep treatments and countermeasures improve metabolic health, but future clinical research investigating prevention and treatment of chronic metabolic disorders through treatment of sleep and circadian disruption is needed.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that nightshift work reduces total daily energy expenditure, representing a contributing mechanism for unwanted weight gain and obesity.

TL;DR: Treatments are available, including cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), interpersonal psychotherapy, lisdexamfetamine, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) for BED; and CBT, SSRIs, progressive muscle relaxation, and bright light therapy for NES.

TL;DR: A coherent pattern of behavioral and neuroendocrine characteristics was found in subjects with NES, and night eaters had attenuation of the nocturnal rise in plasma melatonin and leptin levels and higher circadian levels of plasma cortisol.

TL;DR: The Night Eating Questionnaire appears to be an efficient, valid measure of severity for NES and is found to have convergent validity with additional measures of night eating, disordered eating, sleep, mood, and stress.

Night Eating Syndrome Is Associated with Depression, Low Self-Esteem, Reduced Daytime Hunger, and Less Weight Loss in Obese Outpatients
TL;DR: NES is a syndrome with distinct psychopathology and increased food intake later in the day, both of which may contribute to poorer weight loss outcome and NES deserves consideration as a diagnostic eating disorder.

TL;DR: Although postoperative vomiting usually does not represent purge behavior, it may represent failed attempts to binge, and there was no relationship between presurgical eating pathology and weight outcome or presence of vomiting at follow-up.
