“…For example, a systematic review by da Luz et al (2023) [87] found that people who binge eat exhibit poorer overall sleep quality compared to people who do not binge eat, and may have more daytime sleepiness, insomnia, and difficulty falling asleep. BED has even been proposed as a possible circadian disorder [88]. More studies of these associations might explain these relationships as well as the findings among pregnant women reviewed here [48,65].…”

A Systematic Review of Studies Examining Associations between Sleep Characteristics with Dietary Intake and Eating Behaviors during Pregnancy

Little is known about the association between sleep and diet in pregnancy, despite both behaviors impacting maternal and fetal health. We aimed to perform a systematic review of the available literature on associations between sleep characteristics and dietary intake and eating behaviors during pregnancy, reporting on both maternal and fetal outcomes. We followed the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and conducted our search on 27 May 2021 in the PubMed, EMBASE, and CINAHL databases. The search yielded 6785 unique articles, of which 25 met our eligibility criteria. The studies, mostly observational, published 1993–2021, include data from 168,665 participants. Studies included examinations of associations between various maternal sleep measures with a diverse set of diet-related measures, including energy or nutrient intake (N = 12), dietary patterns (N = 9), and eating behaviors (N = 11). Associations of maternal exposures with fetal/infant outcomes were also examined (N = 5). We observed considerable heterogeneity across studies precluding our ability to perform a meta-analysis or form strong conclusions; however, several studies did report significant findings. Results from this systematic review demonstrate the need for consistency in methods across studies to better understand relationships between diet and sleep characteristics during pregnancy.

“…Those who meet both NES core criteria, including evening hyperphagia and nocturnal ingestions, are at greater risk for experiencing more severe eating pathologies, including food addiction or binge eating [ 77 ]. In parallel, a close association has been suggested to link mood and chronotypes [ 78 , 79 , 80 ]. In particular, the eveningness chronotype is considered a risk factor for the development and remission of depressive symptoms, anxiety and major depressive disorder [ 78 , 81 , 82 , 83 ], independent of insomnia [ 84 ].…”

Although the existence of altered, deficient cognitive–emotional processes have been implicated in this association, other factors associated with eveningness, including unhealthy lifestyle habits, a delayed dim light melatonin onset (DLMO) and the propensity of evening types to addiction may also charge this association [ 17 , 85 ].…”

The night eating syndrome (NES) is characterized by excessive food intake during the evening and night hours, with 25% of the daily intake being consumed post-dinner, paired with ep-isodes of nocturnal food intake, at a frequency of more than twice weekly. The NES has been associated with a misaligned circadian rhythm related to a delay in overall food intake, increased energy and fat consumption. The present cross-sectional study aimed to assess NES in a Greek population and evaluate possible links between NES and chronotype. NES was assessed using the Night Eating Questionnaire (NEQ), and circadian rhythm, sleep and mood were evaluated with the Sleep, Circadian Rhythms, and Mood (SCRAM) questionnaire. A total of 533 adults participated in the study. A relatively high prevalence of NES was revealed, with more than 8.1% (NEQ ≥ 30) of the participants reporting experiencing NES symptoms, depending on the NEQ threshold used. Most participants had the intermediate chronotype. NEQ score was positively associated with the morning chronotype, and SCRAM was negatively related to “Good Sleep”. Each point increment in the depression score was associated with 6% higher odds of NES. The early identification of NES gains importance in clinical practice, in a collective effort aiming to reduce NES symptomatology and its detrimental health effects.

“…Despite recent advances in the understanding on how the circadian system may be involved in appetite/hunger and metabolic regulation, knowledge of its potential role in EDs lags behind ( 8 , 10 , 85 – 87 ). Virtually none of the assessments that have been performed to date can distinguish involvement of the circadian system vs. influences of the sleep/wake, rest/activity, dark/light, fasting/eating cycle, mood/impulse control rhythms, and/or social/work/school schedules in causing daily rhythms related to BE behavior.…”

A matter of time: A systematic scoping review on a potential role of the circadian system in binge eating behavior

BackgroundEmerging research suggests that food intake timing, eating behavior and food preference are associated with aspects of the circadian system function but the role that the circadian system may play in binge eating (BE) behavior in humans remains unclear.ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the evidence for circadian system involvement in BE behavior.MethodsSystematic searches of PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus were performed for reports published from inception until May 2020 (PROSPERO Registration CRD42020186325). Searches were conducted by combining Medical Subject Headings related to the circadian system, BE behavior, and/or interventions. Observational and interventional studies in humans with BE behavior published in peer-review journals in the English language were included. Studies were assessed using quality and risk of bias tools (AXIS, ROB 2.0, or ROBINS).ResultsThe search produced 660 articles, 51 of which were included in this review. Of these articles, 46 were observational studies and 5 were interventional trials. Evidence from these studies suggests that individuals with BE behavior tend to have more food intake, more binge cravings, and more BE episodes later in the day. Hormonal and day/night locomotor activity rhythm disturbances may be associated with BE behavior. Furthermore, late diurnal preference (“eveningness”) was associated with BE behavior and chronobiological interventions that shift the circadian clock earlier (e.g., morning bright light therapy) were found to possibly decrease BE behavior. Substantive clinical overlap exists between BE and night eating behavior. However, there is a significant knowledge gap regarding their potential relationship with the circadian system. Limitations include the lack of studies that use best-established techniques to assess the chronobiology of BE behavior, heterogeneity of participants, diagnostic criteria, and study design, which preclude a meta-analytic approach.ConclusionCurrent evidence, although limited, suggests that the circadian system may play a role in the etiology of BE behavior. Further mechanistic studies are needed to fully characterize a potential role of the circadian system in BE behavior. A chronobiological approach to studying BE behavior may lead to identification of its neurobiological components and development of novel therapeutic interventions.Systematic review registration[https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42020186325], identifier [CRD42020186325].
