Diet by losing sleep as well
This is for those who are taking Ambien and find they can't fit into their pajamas anymore: Sleep is important but not so much if you are "sleep eating."
Sleep eating is apparently one of the phenomenas associated with Ambien.
One woman apparently gained 100 pounds. Another woman in a full body cast sleepwalked and was found frying bacon and eggs, or eating a sandwich. Yet another sleepwalker downed a whole package of hamburger buns.
Since not everyone on Ambien is doing this, I am really curious what they find as to the reason. If people stress-eat to begin with, and can't sleep because they are stressed, perhaps they are carrying their stress to the sleep-eating.
These people aren't just having a light snack, so I think some of this is stress-eating, and whether awake or not, we can all relate to that.
