Abstract

Cushing's disease is associated with disruptions in cortisol rhythms and potentially linked eating disturbances.

  • Cushing's disease involves chronic excess cortisol, which may affect mood and sleep.
  • Night eating symptoms could be prevalent in individuals with Cushing's disease.
  • Chronotype, or the natural inclination for activity during the day or night, may be altered in Cushing's disease.
  • Clinical, psychological, sleep-related, and hormonal factors may correlate with eating disturbances in this condition.
