I would google it and also discuss it with a psychiatrist. It has only been really studied in the last few years and I know that there are a lot of studies going on right now in the Boston area on it, since I see ads for night eating studies at Harvard and UMass all the time. Good luck. Hi Bobbi, it sounds like your husband is suffering from an actual medical disorder called Night-Eating Syndrome. I would google it and also discuss it with a psychiatrist.

My husband is bi-polar and has a terrible time with sleep and waking up. He eats anything and everything in the middle of the night. Does the same whole grain/protein suggestion apply to him? What should he absolutely stay away from, except the obvious, i.e., caffeine, chocolate, etc.? Thanks for you help! Does anyone have any suggestions for food to eat before bedtime for a bi-polar?

They suggested Whole Grains with Lean Protein and Caffeine due to the Stimulant properties which counteract the drowsiness factor and keep you alert. Tryptophans are a "scientific fact" and "eating Whole grains and carbs will put you to sleep". They are found in Dairy, Whole Grains, even Turkey. See Mayo Clinic article on this below. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/foods-that-help-you-sleep/AN01582 Perhaps there are less "factual errors" than you assumed? 1) Foods do have multiple effects so Whole Grains are able to do both.
