ObjectiveAlthough studies on sleep difficulties in binge eating disorder (BED) have produced inconsistent findings, research has linked poor sleep to the presence of related concerns (e.g., obesity, anxiety, and depression). To clarify the relationship between BED and sleep problems, this study aimed to compare insomnia symptoms in individuals with BED and those with no history of an eating disorder (NED).MethodAn adult community sample of individuals with BED (N=68) and NED (N=78) completed measures of insomnia, depression and anxiety, and eating disorder symptoms.ResultsIndividuals with BED reported significantly greater insomnia symptoms than the NED group. The relationship between BED and insomnia symptoms was partially mediated by anxiety. Depression fully mediated the positive association between insomnia symptom severity and binge frequency in the BED group.DiscussionThese findings suggest that depression, anxiety, and sleep are important constructs to consider in BED development and presentation.
