Eat Behav 6:63-73. 2005..Night eating syndrome is not the equivalent of night snacking. The definition of night eating syndrome must be expanded to include a sleep disturbance component accompanied by night eating...
- Evening ready-to-eat cereal consumption contributes to weight managementSandia M Waller
Department of Nutrition and Food Science, Wayne State University, Detroit, MI 48202, USA
