Sleep-wake cycles in women with binge eating disorder

Article Abstract:

There are significant differences in sleep quality between binge eating disorder (BED) and obese (OB) subjects compared with normal weight (NW) subjects, according to research designed to assess ambulatory sleep-wake characteristics in obese BED patients compared with non-BED OB and nonbinging NW women. The BED and OB groups showed substantially lower sleep quality and greater frequency of disturbed sleep patterns. There may be weight-related physical discomfort or breathing disorders in sleep.

Naturalistic sleep monitoring in women suffering from bulimia nervosa

Article Abstract:

There are significant differences between the sleep-wake patterns of patients with bulimia nervosa (BN) and healthy people with no symptoms of BN. Actigraphic monitoring revealed that BN sufferers had sleep onset and sleep termination on average one hour later than the non-BN control group. There were no differences in sleep duration, sleep latency or in any sleep quality measures. This altered sleep-wake pattern is probably attributable to evening behavioural disturbances.
