Overview of the Diagnostic Criteria Evening Hyperphagia One of the core features of NES is the delay of the circadian rhythm of food intake, characterized by minimal intake of calories in the first half of the day and marked increase of intake through the second half of the day that disrupts the sleep cycle (O’Reardon et al., 2005). The delay in circadian rhythm of food intake is manifested by evening hyperphagia and nocturnal ingestions of food. Evening hyperphagia is defined as the consumption of 25% or more of caloric intake after the evening meal (Allison et al., 2009). It can co-occur with nocturnal ingestions but must be present to receive a diagnosis of NES if nocturnal ingestions are absent. 3
