© 2016 Asia Oceania Association for the Study of ObesitySleep-related eating disorder (SRED) is a parasomnia characterised by recurrent episodes of eating after arousal from sleep, occurring in an unconscious and involuntary manner. It has been reported mainly in association with the use of psychotropic medications. This case report is of a patient diagnosed with a sleep-related eating disorder associated with amnesia in the postoperative period following bariatric surgery. Such eating episodes without awareness in postoperative period might have devastating results by disturbing compliance with suggested eating behaviours. Although it is a rare condition, SRED should be screened for among bariatric surgery candidates, and those affected should be directed for the appropriate treatment. Also whether SRED should be considered a contraindications to bariatric should be considered.
