How Season, Night Eating, and Body Clock Types Relate in Bipolar Disorder, with Sleep Quality as a Link
Updated
Abstract
The prevalence of night eating syndrome (NES) was 17.4% among patients with bipolar disorder (BD).
- Patients with BD experiencing NES reported poorer sleep quality compared to those without NES.
- Greater seasonality was observed in BD patients who had NES.
- Lower scores on the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire were associated with NES in BD patients.
- Chronotype indirectly affected night eating symptoms through sleep quality in BD patients.
- Direct effects of seasonality on night eating symptoms were identified in bipolar disorder.
