Professor Amanda Salis hopes her discovery will lead to better medical treatment for people with sleep issues that are linked to binge eating.
abc.net.au/news/researcher-finds-link-between-binge-eating-an-sleep-issues/101860784A Perth professor whose research suggests a link between binge eating and sleep problems says the discovery could help improve treatments.
Amanda Salis, from the School of Human Sciences at the University of Western Australia, hoped the findings published in the International Journal of Obesity would help inform health professionals who treated binge eating."For example, you feel tired and cranky the next day. It can even affect your hunger, and your energy levels the next day, and that could make binge eating worse.
"If people are undergoing treatment for binge eating, or trying to struggle through it, and they do have poor sleep, then it could be really making it harder for them than it has to be." Binge eating is when a person consumes more food than would be considered appropriate in the circumstances.Professor Salis said her interest in the field of obesity and weight loss was inspired by her own relationship with food in the past.
A former binge eater herself, she said the disorder was also associated with a feeling of loss of control.
