The intricate connection between eating behaviors and sleep habits is often overlooked in clinical practice, despite their profound interdependence. Sleep plays a key role in modulating psychological, hormonal and metabolic balance and exerting an influence on food choices. Conversely, various eating disorders may affect sleep continuity, sometimes promoting the development of sleep pathologies. Neurologists, nutritionists and psychiatrists tend to focus on these issues separately, resulting in a failure to recognize the full extent of the clinical conditions. This detrimental separation can lead to underestimation, misdiagnosis and inappropriate therapeutic interventions. In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the tangled relationship between sleep, sleep pathologies and eating disorders, by incorporating the perspective of sleep experts, psychologists and psychiatrists. Our goal is to identify a practical crossroad integrating the expertise of all the involved specialists.
尽管饮食行为和睡眠习惯之间存在着复杂的相互依存关系，但在临床实践中，这一点往往被忽视。睡眠在调节心理、激素和代谢平衡方面起着关键作用，并对食物选择产生影响。相反，各种饮食障碍可能会影响睡眠的连续性，有时会导致睡眠障碍的发展。神经学家、营养学家和精神科医生往往分别关注这些问题，导致未能充分认识到临床情况的全貌。这种有害的分离可能导致低估、误诊和不适当的治疗干预。在这篇综述中，我们旨在通过纳入睡眠专家、心理学家和精神科医生的观点，全面了解睡眠、睡眠障碍和饮食障碍之间纠结的关系。我们的目标是确定一个实用的交叉点，整合所有相关专家的专业知识。
