sleepeating
Eating while asleep
Sleepeating is consuming food while asleep or in a semiconscious state, with little or no memory of doing so.
It can be a symptom of a sleep disorder or a side effect of certain medications: I woke up to find cookie crumbs everywhere—I must have been sleepeating again.
Also spelled sleep-eating.
