How Does Time-Restricted Eating Impact Sleep?
For adults with overweight or obesity, time-restricted eating (TRE) does not lead to significant changes in sleep, mood, or quality of life, regardless of the timing of the eating window, according to a study published online June 25 in JAMA Network Open.
Antonio Clavero-Jimeno, from the University of Granada in Spain, and colleagues conducted a prespecified secondary analysis of a parallel-group clinical trial involving men and women aged 30 to 60 years with overweight or obesity.
The 197 participants were randomly allocated to receive usual care (UC; a Mediterranean diet education program) alone or combined with one of three TRE schedules: an eight-hour eating window in the early part of the day (early TRE); the late part of the day (late TRE); or selected by the participant (self-selected TRE; 49, 49, 52, and 47 participants, respectively).
