Does anyone else eat during the night and not remember? "sleep eat"

I had surgery on Dec 4th 2006. (lost 38 pounds so far) Does anyone else sleep eat? I never knew that I got up in the middle of the night to eat until just recently. Apparently I am waking in the middle of the night and eating or drinking things and not realizing that I'm doing it until the next day. I have gotten up and eaten bread type things. I have gotten into soda pop and other foods. The only reason I even know that I did it is because I find the wrappers of popcicles (sugar free) in the garbage, or I wake to find a dirty dish in my sink and then I remember having done it. I have no idea why I'm doing it now when I didn't notice doing that before. I have removed the easy access food from my kitchen but its scary knowing that I drank soda or ate something that I'm trying to avoid eating. I don't do it during the day though so I hope someone has some good ideas on how to break that before it is detrimental to my weight loss. I'm also wondering how many times I've done it and not realized it. Maybe that is why my weight loss is very slow.
