Insights into Sleep Disturbances in Anorexia Nervosa Patients from Home-Based Study
Originally Published 2 years ago — by PsyPost
A recent home-based study published in the Journal of Eating Disorders examined the sleep patterns of anorexia nervosa patients. The study found that these patients experienced significant sleep disturbances, including more nights spent awake, shorter periods of uninterrupted sleep, and longer durations of awakenings during the night. These disruptions have been linked to poorer treatment outcomes and more severe eating disorder symptoms. By addressing sleep disturbances in anorexia patients, healthcare providers may be able to improve treatment outcomes and reduce the severity of eating disorder symptoms.
