Sleep wake cycle and eating patterns undergo major changes throughout life and have been proved to be very correlated. Eating disorder prevalence is increasing and sleep problems are very common among them. The current study is concerned with investigating the sleep pattern in anorexia and bulimia female patients using both subjective and objective assessment tools.
A cross sectional study of sleep patterns using structured sleep disorder questionnaire and full night polysomnography in 23 female patients with bulimia and anorexia, patients aged 18-45 years not on any treatment for a month at least, compared to a sex and age matched control group (20 participants), all cases were collected from the Institute of Psychiatry, Ain Shams University over 18 months interval.
Significant affection of most domains of sleep measured by subjective and objective assessment tools in patients compared with the control group.
Sleep is equally affected in bulimia and anorexia patients, confirming that sleep and eating disorders are highly correlated. Sleep may be a clinical marker in eating disorders.
睡眠-觉醒周期和饮食模式在整个生命周期中发生重大变化，并且已被证明两者之间高度相关。饮食失调的患病率正在上升，其中睡眠问题非常普遍。本研究旨在使用主观和客观评估工具调查厌食症和贪食症女性患者的睡眠模式。
对 23 名患有贪食症和厌食症的女性患者进行了睡眠模式的横断面研究，使用结构化睡眠障碍问卷和整夜多导睡眠图，患者年龄在 18-45 岁之间，至少在一个月内未接受任何治疗，与性别和年龄匹配的对照组（20 名参与者）相比，所有病例均在 18 个月的时间间隔内从艾因沙姆斯大学精神病学研究所收集。
与对照组相比，患者的睡眠大部分领域均受到明显影响，这些领域通过主观和客观评估工具进行测量。
贪食症和厌食症患者的睡眠同样受到影响，这证实了睡眠和饮食失调高度相关。睡眠可能是饮食失调的临床标志物。
