Nighttime eating disorder constitutes one of countless variety of eating disorders. The nighttime eating disorder is a condition which is defined by a lack of appetite in the morning which is caused by a problem of overeating at night inadvertently. The nighttime eating disorder is different from other eating disorders such as binge-eating and bulimia in the way that individuals with the nighttime eating disorder take relatively small snacks at night but more frequently, whereas individuals who suffer from binge-eating or bulimia eat in larger amount but infrequently.
This disorder can be handled through treatment that incorporates counseling and an urge to paying attention to ones own detailed medical and nutritional needs. But this treatment should be customized to the individual according to both the severity of the disorder and the patient's particular difficulties, requirements and fitness.

I have had night eating
I have had night eating syndrome for years and doctors have not been able to help me. I belief as you do, Lisah, that much of it is caused by stress and anxiety. The only help I get is to clear my house of any high calorie food. I will not go for anything healthy and if I know there is nothing "good" in the house, I often won't get up. I wish there was a support group for this because it has caused me many problems, not the least is being tired all day.
