“…We observed that having a high disinhibition eating behavior trait significantly increases the risk of overeating and gaining weight in those with short sleep durations [63]. These novel results emphasize the need to include a disinhibition eating behavior score in the personalized risk assessment of weight gain and obesity of short-duration sleepers.…”

“…The findings of significant moderation effects in this study are novel. These findings coincide with previous research indicating that the associations between poor sleep and weight were stronger in individuals who had higher behavioural impulsivity and disinhibited eating (Chan et al ., ; Chaput et al ., ). Importantly, the effect sizes of the association between sleep parameters and BMI in individuals with high DD or high RD were clinically significant.…”

“…A stronger association between sleep and obesity might exist in some individuals. The associations between indicators of poor sleep and higher adiposity were found to be stronger in individuals who carried the genetic marker associated with high impulsivity (Chan et al ., ) who were rated as more behaviourally impulsive (Chan et al ., ), and who had higher trait disinhibited eating, the tendency to overeat in reaction to cognitive and emotional cues (Chaput et al ., ). Higher trait or behavioural impulsivity might indicate a lack of self‐regulatory resources to counteract the influence of poor sleep on eating and weight.…”

Delay discounting and response disinhibition moderate associations between actigraphically measured sleep parameters and body mass index

SUMMARYPrevious research suggests that the sleep-obesity association varies significantly across individuals. This study examined the associations between actigraphically measured sleep parameters and body mass index and hypothesized that the associations would be stronger in individuals with greater delay discounting, the devaluation of future rewards and response disinhibition and the difficulty in withholding previously rewarded responses. Seventy-eight college students carried a wrist-worn actigraph and completed diaries reporting bedtime, wake time and covariates including physical activity, alcohol and caffeine consumption, daytime nap duration and perceived stress for 7 days and completed the delay discounting and go/no-go response disinhibition tasks. Their height and weight were measured. Only bedtime variability was significantly associated with body mass index in the main effect model controlling for all covariates (B = 0.03, P = 0.001). Delay discounting moderated associations of bedtime (B = 0.03, P < 0.001), sleep duration variability (B = 0.05, P = 0.002), bedtime variability (B = 0.03, P = 0.002) and wake time variability (B = 0.02, P < 0.001) with body mass index; these associations were significant only when the delay discounting rate was high. Response disinhibition moderated the association between bedtime variability and body mass index in a similar pattern (B = 0.01, P = 0.004). The findings suggest that, using actigraphy measures of sleep, circadian desynchrony rather than sleep duration is a risk factor for higher body mass index. The findings support the hypothesis that delay discounting and response disinhibition moderate the associations between sleep and body mass index. Delay discounting and response disinhibition might characterize individuals who are vulnerable to the influence of circadian desynchrony on weight.

“…In the light of the results from Vgontzas et al [69••], it is interesting to find that Chaput et al have shown the association between short sleep duration and weight gain in adults to be dependent on the so-called disinhibited eating behavior (i.e., a tendency to overeat and to eat opportunistically) [84]. They found that in short sleepers with high disinhibition eating behavior, the incidence of obesity over 6 years was 2.5 times higher than in short sleep sleepers with a low disinhibition eating behavior.…”

Collectively, cross-sectional and longitudinal studies on self-reported sleep duration and obesity do not show a clear pattern of association with some showing a negative linear relationship, some showing a U-shaped relationship, and some showing no relationship. Associations between sleep duration and obesity seem stronger in younger adults. Cross-sectional studies using objectively measured sleep duration (actigraphy or polysomnography (PSG)) also show this mixed pattern whereas all longitudinal studies to date using actigraphy or PSG have failed to show a relationship with obesity/weight gain. It is still too early and a too easy solution to suggest that changing the sleep duration will cure the obesity epidemic. Given novel results on emotional stress and poor sleep as mediating factors in the relationship between sleep duration and obesity, detection and management of these should become the target of future clinical efforts as well as future research.
