In the past two years I have been sleep walking and eating in my sleep. I have woke up with choc. in my hand. One night I ate an entire bag of chips. I never remember it. I see the evidence when I wake up. I am not concerned with weight gain, that has never been a problem. I have tried eating right before bed, but that doesn't help. I mentioned it to my family doctor and she just dismissed it as weird. I wouldn't be so concerned but I wake up so tired and I force myself to function during the day. Is there some type of specialist I should go to? I do think part of it is caused from stress. I will go for weeks doing this and then it stops for awhile. (I think) If there is no evidence and I am not tired I assume I am not sleep walking. Yeah I know this weird.

the fact that your doctor just dismissed it as weird means that you need a new doctor. but you should also try to go to a sleep clinic.

This isn't that wierd. It's been discussed a lot lately in the news. Do you take a sleep aid? Some of those medications have been associated with sleep/eating disorders.

there is a relationship between Ambien and sleep eating as a common side effect that has been in the news lately.. if you are taking Ambien .. that is a worthy explaination that should be considered.. speak with a doctor about alternative medicine
