Sleep related eating disorder (SRED) is a parasomnia. A parasomnia involves undesired events that come along with sleep. SRED consists of repeated episodes of compulsive binge eating and drinking after waking up in the night. Episodes always occur in an âout of controlâ manner. They tend to occur when you are only partially awake.
1 Dreaming is more common in this stage than in other stages of NREM sleep though not as common as in REM sleep. 2  The content of SWS dreams tends to be disconnected, less vivid, and less memorable than those that occur during REM sleep. 3  This is also the stage during which parasomnias most commonly occur.
