A condition is a mix of overeating at night and being unable to sleep.  Another disorder caused by night eating includes binge eating disorder, where you eat an excessive amount at night, similar to binge watching a television show.  There are many reasons why people eat late at night for example they get off late, stress, up all night, and binge eat while relaxing.   According to NDTV.com, these are the health hazards to eating late at night:
