Appearing on The Ellen Show after nearly two or two years of absence, the American singer was not afraid to share everything about herself, including her night eating disorder.

In the Burning Question challenge, the singer born in 1989 was asked: “If you can’t sleep in the middle of the night, what do you do?”

Without hesitation, Taylor replied: “I went downstairs, rummaged through the kitchen and ate whatever I could find. This action was not like what a human would do, but like a raccoon rummaging through a bin. garbage”.

Taylor said at those times she did not mean it. She doesn’t even remember anything about her actions.

While the audience giggled and applauded Taylor’s adorable honesty, host Ellen worried that the 10-time Grammy Award winner was having problems.

In fact, night eating as Taylor experienced is a type of sleep disorder. According to the American Sleep Association, it occurs when people, in an unconscious state, wake up at least once in the middle of the night and eat and drink a lot even though they are not really hungry.

These people who eat while they sleep tend to choose foods that are high in calories, sugar, or foods that they don’t eat often. This leads to the risk of weight gain and other illnesses, especially if they accidentally eat foods that should not be combined together or eat things that are not edible. Not to mention the accidents that can happen to patients when cutting food or cooking hot dishes when not alert.

Sleep eating disrupts sleep and is not good for overall health. However, prescription medications can help patients control this condition. In addition, the American Sleep Association recommends that people with night eating consult a nutritionist to ensure their diet does not make the body hungry at night.
