sleep eating
Nocturnal food consumption
Sleep eating is eating while asleep or in a semiconscious state, typically with no memory of it afterward.
It's associated with sleepwalking and certain sleep disorders, and can involve consuming unusual food combinations or even inedible items: I woke up to find crumbs everywhere—apparently I'd been sleep eating again.
