“…Upon reviewing the abstracts of articles obtained through a search on Medline (OVID) and SCOPUS, five additional relevant articles were included. After the screening process, 30 studies [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 ] assessing NES met the inclusion criteria and were thus included in this scoping review. The need for further research into NES within adult populations is reiterated through the limited number of relevant studies yielded through this search.…”

“…As shown in Table 1 , only five studies investigated NES in a representative participant sample [ 26 , 27 , 32 , 37 , 44 ], whilst fourteen studies reported on university students [ 17 , 19 , 24 , 25 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 45 , 46 ] and ten studies reported on patients within outpatient clinics [ 18 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 36 , 38 ]. Most studies [ 17 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 32 , 34 , 36 , 37 , 39 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 ,…”

“…Thirteen studies explored the impact of NES on quality of sleep [ 17 , 20 , 23 , 24 , 26 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 33 , 35 , 36 , 41 , 45 ]. This was primarily achieved through self-reported questionnaires, such as the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) [ 55 ], Morningness–Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) [ 56 ], Insomnia severity index (ISI) [ 57 ] and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) [ 58 ].…”

“…Although objective data were obtained, Geliebter et al [ 21 ] were limited in providing further information addressed through questionnaires, such as sleep duration, daytime sleepiness and impact of quality of life [ 11 ]. Moreover, several studies [ 17 , 20 , 28 , 33 , 35 , 41 , 45 ] analysed sleep quality over a month using the PSQI, thus increasing their reliability. These findings support the need for further longitudinal research into the interrelation between NES and aspects of sleep to develop effective screening and management of sleep problems which result from NES.…”

“…This scoping review investigated the associations between NES and Body Mass Index (BMI; kg/m 2 ), physical health and sleep conditions. Thirty studies were identified that reported on associations between physical health problems and NES over the past decade [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 ]. Whilst there were inconsistencies in representative and larger-sample studies, NES appeared to be associated with higher BMI, less physical activity and poorer sleep quality.…”

A Scoping Review on the Association between Night Eating Syndrome and Physical Health, Health-Related Quality of Life, Sleep and Weight Status in Adults

Night eating syndrome (NES) is characterised by recurrent episodes of night eating, evident through excessive food consumption after the evening meal or eating after awakening from sleep, often associated with significant distress and/or impairment in functioning. This scoping review was conducted according to PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews) guidelines. The search was conducted through the use of PubMed, Medline (OVID) and SCOPUS, to identify relevant articles published within the last 10 years. Search terms including “Night eating*” OR “NES” and Boolean phrases were used to refine the search. Additionally, the age of participants was restricted to 18 years and above, to ensure only adult participants were included. The abstracts of the remaining articles were used to screen for those that were relevant. From a total of 663 citations, 30 studies assessing night eating syndrome met the inclusion criteria to be included in the review. We found inconsistent associations of NES with higher body mass index (BMI), less physical activity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and poorer quality of sleep. These inconsistencies may have been due to the use of different measurement methods, lack of power from small sample sizes of NES in some studies and varying ages of participants, with associations being more likely to be found in higher-quality, representative populations than in university student samples. There were no associations of NES with T2DM in clinical populations and with hypertension, OSA and metabolic syndrome, but sample sizes were small. The impacts of NES on these medical conditions should be addressed in future, using well-sized and long-term studies involving representative populations of adults. In conclusion, NES likely has negative impacts on BMI, T2DM, physical activity, and sleep quality, which in turn may increase cardio-metabolic risk. However, further research is needed to elucidate the interaction between NES and its associated features.

Taking Steps Toward a Consensus on Night Eating Syndrome Diagnostic Criteria

BackgroundNight eating syndrome (NES) is included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders, 5th edition, as an example of “Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders” with minimal guidance about how to define and operationalize NES. The literature suggests that research practices vary widely, making it difficult to draw conclusions about the public health burden of, effective interventions for, or policy implications relevant to NES. This Forum article seeks to illustrate the lack of definitional agreement to underscore the need for a consensus about NES diagnostic criteria, and to propose steps toward closing knowledge gaps and achieving consensus.MethodWe searched PubMed and PsycINFO titles and abstracts, using “NES” as the search term, for research articles published in English between January 1, 2013 to August 12, 2024 with sample sizes of NES > 10 and ages 18 or older. Eligible articles were coded for NES definitions and assessment method used to diagnose participants with NES and for information about comorbidity of NES and any other eating disorder (ED).ResultsSeventy‐three articles met inclusion criteria. Most commonly, NES was diagnosed using a diagnostic criteria set (35/73) or a symptom score threshold (34/73); among the former, only eight studies employed DSM‐5 NES criteria. Thirteen studies, varying widely in methodology, examined comorbidity with other EDs, most commonly binge‐eating disorder where comorbidity was high.ConclusionHeterogeneity of definitions and assessment impede progress in the study of NES. We propose strategies for developing a consensus definition and addressing research gaps.
