“…To test whether altered dietary patterns can feedback to affect sleep parameters, 26 normal weight individuals were studied during habitual sleep for 5 days[18]**. During the first 4 days, caloric intake was strictly controlled but on the 5 th day, participants were released into a buffet meal environment, followed by a 9h time in bed opportunity.…”

Purpose of review To summarize recent developments linking disturbances of sleep and circadian rhythms to an increased risk for obesity, and to review novel research on potential countermeasures. Recent findings Effective treatments for obesity are limited, with long-term adherence to life style changes proving difficult. Identifying new preventive strategies based on modifiable risk factors is therefore imperative in the fight against obesity. Disturbances of sleep and circadian rhythms have an adverse impact on food choices, hunger and appetite and have lifelong deleterious metabolic effects when present during childhood and early adulthood. The upregulation of the endocannabinoid system and abnormalities in the temporal distribution of caloric intake have been recently implicated in the link between sleep loss and obesity risk. Lastly, alterations in the circadian variation in the composition and functionality of the gut microbiome have been identified as potential contributors to metabolic dysfunction in conditions of jet lag and shift work. Insufficient sleep and circadian misalignment are thus new modifiable risk factors for obesity. Emerging evidence suggests that novel countermeasures, such as manipulations of the timing of food intake, may be effective strategies in the prevention of obesity. Summary Four important findings are briefly reviewed: 1. disturbances of sleep and circadian rhythms in children and young adults are risk factors for the development of lifelong obesity; 2. circadian misalignment, as occurs in shift work, has an adverse impact on energy balance and increases the risk of weight gain; 3. the endocannabinoid system, an important regulator of hedonic feeding, could be a potential link between sleep, circadian rhythms and feeding behavior; 4. disturbances of the circadian variation in composition of the gut microbiome could be involved in the increased risk of obesity associated with insufficient sleep and circadian misalignment.

“…Additional research is needed to explain the link, and the direction of the link, between sleepiness and binge eating. Binge eating, for instance, may lead to higher levels of daytime sleepiness following the overconsumption of foods high in saturated fat and low in dietary fiber (St-Onge, Roberts, Shechter, & Choudhury, 2015). …”

Associations of sleep duration and quality with disinhibited eating behaviors in adolescent girls at-risk for type 2 diabetes

et al. 2016

Objectives Short sleep duration and daytime sleepiness have been associated with an increased risk for the onset of type 2 diabetes in adults. There has been far less attention to the characterization of sleep in adolescents at-risk for diabetes or to the possible behavioral mechanisms, such as disinhibited eating, through which sleep may affect metabolic functioning. Methods We evaluated the associations of sleep duration and daytime sleepiness with a multimodal assessment of disinhibited eating in 119 adolescent girls at-risk for type 2 diabetes based upon being overweight/obese and having a family history of diabetes. Girls also endorsed mild-to-moderate depressive symptoms. Adolescents reported sleep duration and daytime sleepiness with the Sleep Habits Survey and Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire. They were administered a series of successive test meals to measure total energy intake and eating in the absence of hunger (EAH). Adolescent binge eating was assessed with the Eating Disorder Examination interview. Results Accounting for age, race, puberty, body composition, depressive symptoms, and perceived stress, reported sleep duration was positively related to test meal total energy intake (p = .04), but not to EAH. Adjusting for the same covariates, daytime sleepiness was associated with a greater odds of objective binge eating in the previous month (p = .009). Conclusions In adolescent girls at-risk for type 2 diabetes, reported sleep characteristics are associated with disinhibited eating behaviors that have been linked to excessive weight and adverse metabolic outcomes. Future studies are called for to evaluate these links using objective measures of sleep.

“…They also eat more calories and fat with higher LDL cholesterol levels than people who regularly have breakfast. 53 The kind of food intake affects quality of sleep. St-Onge et al 53 found that individuals who ate more saturated fats and sugars had lighter, less restful, and more disturbed sleep.…”
