The evening hours, almost always, allow us to do things without exposing ourselves to the “light” of the day and the criticism of others. In those moments it is allowed to lose control of the diet, of the deprivation of food, since no one is going to comment on it or criticize it. When others are not watching us, it is the right time to break the boundaries and release our pent-up energy with food. During the day we are immersed in chains of thoughts and emotions, which we sometimes find difficult to manage. Physical and mental fatigue, as well as stress, cause difficulties in resisting nocturnal impulses such as bulimia.<\/p>\n

As with depression, women are more vulnerable than men to nocturnal bulimia, especially those who experience chronic frustration with their bodies. Internal worries, conflicts and emotions, guilt and often the absence of a satisfactory relationship with the opposite sex, as well as difficulty in emotional management during the day, exacerbate the problem.<\/p>\n

How is nocturnal bulimia treated?
\n– Problem recognition and self-help exercises
\n– Record daily food intake, along with thoughts and feelings at that moment.
\n– Repeat the same procedure for the night episodes.
\n– Sharing meals, snacks and fruit\/vegetables proves useful in these situations.
\n– Notice what your most common negative emotions are during the day, what stimuli usually trigger them, what thoughts follow and what effects they have on your mood and behaviour.<\/p>\n

All of the above results in a good and peaceful sleep. A hot drink could help<\/p>\n

In any case, talk it over and consult your doctor. The clinical examination and laboratory testing, in many cases, can provide the solution.<\/p>\n
