To examine the association of nocturnal eating (getting up out of bed to eat) with overweight, binge eating, and negative mood or anxiety.
Forty overweight women diagnosed with binge eating disorder (BED) and 39 overweight controls monitored their nocturnal eating for an average of eight nights.
Seven instances of nocturnal eating were recorded by 6 patients, all of whom were binge eaters. Foods consumed nocturnally tended to be selected from those favored for binge episodes, and reported control over nocturnal eating was low. Patients reported tiredness, but not poor mood or anxiety, at the nocturnal eating episodes.
In this sample, nocturnal eating was associated more with eating disorder than overweight. This report should provide the basis of future work to determine whether nocturnal eating should be evaluated and treated among eating disordered or overweight groups of patients.
研究夜间进食（起床吃东西）与超重、暴饮暴食以及负面情绪或焦虑之间的关联。
40名被诊断患有暴饮暴食症（BED）的超重女性和39名超重对照者对她们的夜间进食情况进行了平均八晚的监测。
6名患者记录到7次夜间进食情况，她们均为暴饮暴食者。夜间食用的食物往往选自那些在暴饮暴食发作时喜欢吃的食物，并且报告显示对夜间进食的控制能力较低。患者报告在夜间进食时感到疲倦，但没有不良情绪或焦虑。
在这个样本中，夜间进食与饮食失调的关联比与超重的关联更大。本报告应为未来的研究工作提供基础，以确定是否应对饮食失调或超重患者群体进行夜间进食的评估和治疗。
