Five Warning Signs of Night Eating Syndrome: Is Your Sleep Affected?

Nighttime Eating Syndrome: Five Warning Signs You Shouldn't Ignore Spain's leading health group, Quirónsalud, has highlighted five key indicators of nighttime eating syndrome (NES), a condition impacting both physical and mental well-being. NES affects individuals' sleep patterns and emotional states. The condition is characterized by a recurring pattern of eating at night, often leading to feelings of guilt and frustration. The group's informative video uses simple visuals to illustrate the five signs: waking up to eat, excessive nighttime eating despite a lack of hunger, difficulty sleeping without prior eating, using food to cope with emotions, and experiencing guilt or frustration after nighttime eating. These symptoms can significantly impact quality of life. The video encourages viewers to consult a healthcare professional if they recognize these signs in themselves. "Identifying these warning signs is crucial for appropriate treatment," states a representative from Quirónsalud. The group's website offers additional resources on NES and its management. By raising awareness about NES, Quirónsalud is empowering individuals to take control of their well-being and seek help when needed, ultimately promoting healthier lifestyles and improved mental health.
