about food intake throughout a typical day, previous symptoms of NES, sleep and mood patterns, weight, diet history, medications, supplements, other medical conditions, and previous methods used to help with symptoms of NES (Allison et.al, 2008). Dietary recalls are imbedded in the NESHI; therefore, additional food records are not necessary in this study. The Night Eating Questionnaire (NEQ), is also included in the NESHI, which is a 14-item scale developed to screen for night eating behaviors in clinical populations (Allison et al., 2008). The NEQ assesses morning anorexia, first consumption of food during the day, food cravings and perceived control over food intake throughout the evening and night, percentage of food consumed after the evening meal, initial insomnia, number of nocturnal awakenings, food consumption and awareness at those times, and mood (Allison et al., 2008). Responses are given and scored based on a 5-point scale (0-4). The NESHI has been used in several studies to help diagnose NES (Dalle Grave, et al., 2011; Calugi, Dalle Grave, & Marchesini, 2009; Stunkard, et al., 2006; Lundgren, Allison, & Stunkard, 2006; de Zwaan, et al., 2006).
