Abstract

Sleep related eating disorder (SRED) is classified as a parasomnia seen mostly during non-REM sleep stage. Clinical complications of SRED are obesity and metabolic disease. Although SRED is seen in approximately 5% of the general population, it is thought that SRED is most often underdiagnosed. Herein, we present a case of SRED.
