Does anyone know the term for a sleep disorder that involves eating while asleep. I have a friend who does this; she's trying to lose weight and does a good job of keeping her calories down during the day but will wake up with granola bar wrappers in her bed and no recollection of having eaten anything!

I can't believe this post!
I am half awake when I eat, but geez, I really thought I was the only one ever. Can't find any info on it or how to stop.

I did some of my own research on the net to find out if this was a valid disorder and it is! It's considered a parasomnia...check out this website - it touches on the condition briefly.
