“…However, to date, there has only been one study that investigated the association between sleep and hoarding symptoms at any stage of the lifespan. Raines et al (2015) found that hoarding symptoms, particularly acquiring and difficulty discarding, were associated with increased insomnia in 24 adults with hoarding disorder. Although this study provides initial evidence for the link between hoarding and sleep disturbance, the sample was primarily middle-aged (mean age 42; range 18-63).…”

Sleep problems are associated with many different forms of psychopathology in late life; however, there is currently a gap in the literature on the association between sleep quality and hoarding in older adults. This secondary data analysis of 40 older adults with hoarding disorder examined the association between sleep and hoarding, change in sleep disturbance following treatment, and the impact of sleep on treatment response. Sleep disturbance was correlated with hoarding severity, and this association remained significant when controlling for inability to sleep in a bed due to clutter in a multiple regression analysis. Following treatment, there was no change in sleep disturbance using a paired t-test, and baseline sleep disturbance was not correlated with change in hoarding severity. Future studies on the potential impact of sleep disturbance on hoarding treatment in older adults should examine if targeting sleep issues adjunctively could lead to improved sleep and improved treatment adherence/efficacy.

“…Similarly, we suggest that stress may induce seemingly unrelated behaviors that may become pathological, such as hoarding and OCD. Although such a link has been suggested (Kalanthroff et al 2016; Paterson et al 2013; Raines et al 2015), it is not well studied; our account sheds light on its possible underpinnings.…”

Beyond uncertainty: A broader scope for “incentive hope” mechanisms and its implications

We propose that food-related uncertainty is but one of multiple cues that predicts harsh conditions and may activate “incentive hope.” An evolutionarily adaptive response to these would have been to shift to a behavioral-metabolic phenotype geared toward facing hardship. In modernity, this phenotype may lead to pathologies such as obesity and hoarding. Our perspective suggests a novel therapeutic approach.
