“…In parallel, experimental findings suggested that sleep deprivation modulates EFs in healthy samples, although findings are not entirely consistent. Couyoumdjian et al (2010) and Gorgoni et al (2014) found that total sleep deprivation depletes inhibitory capacities, whilst a recent study from our group suggested that partial sleep deprivation might have a slight beneficial effect on non-inhibitory switching capacities as assessed in task switching paradigm (see below), but no effects on inhibitory capacities (Ballesio et al, 2018). Taken together, these findings may suggest that one mechanism by which disrupted sleep patterns may increase food intake is via changes of EFs (Lundahl & Nelson, 2015).…”

“…Throughout the entire duration of the study, sleep was measured both subjectively, using sleep diaries, and objectively, through a portable electronic device called Zeo (Inc., Newton, MA) (Cellini et al, 2015), which was used to monitor the compliance to the sleep deprivation instructions as previously reported (Lombardo et al, 2020;Ballesio et al, 2018).…”

“…Participants completed the Task Switching paradigm (Jersild, 1927;Sdoia & Ferlazzo, 2008), to assess switching attention and backward inhibition. Data were collected as previously described by our group (Ballesio et al, 2018;Ballesio, Ottaviani & Lombardo, 2019;Ballesio et al, in press).…”

“…We hypothesize that sleep impairment may influence EFs, thus altering eating behavior. Additionally, a large body of literature supports the cross-sectional and longitudinal link between sleep impairments and increased food intake and obesity risk among children, adults, and older adults (Fatima, Doi & Mamun, 2015;Bacaro et al, 2020;Norton et al, 2018).…”

Background Poor executive functions are associated with dysregulated eating and greater caloric intake in healthy samples. In parallel, findings suggested that sleep deprivation impairs executive functions. Methods We investigated whether partial sleep deprivation impairs executive functions in individuals reporting binge eating (BE, N = 14) and healthy controls (C, N = 13). Switch cost and backward inhibition were measured using the Task Switching Paradigm after a habitual night of sleep and after a night of partial sleep deprivation. Results Results showed a Night by Group interaction on the backward inhibition. The two groups differed in the habitual night, evidencing higher inhibitory control in BE compared to C. Additionally, after partial sleep deprivation, compared to the habitual night, backward inhibition decreased in BE group. This preliminary study was the first to explore the impact of sleep deprivation on executive functions in participants reporting binge eating and healthy controls, thus highlighting their potential role in influencing eating behavior.

“…Watching television (TV) is also a lifestyle behavior associated with obesity, due to the lack of movement involved, the snacking related to TV viewing, or the combination of both [12,13]. Sleep has been linked to energy metabolism and body mass index (BMI), with recent studies suggesting that too much or too little sleep is detrimental and may be associated with obesity [14][15][16]. Furthermore, sleep, physical activity, and screen time have been found to be concurrent in some cases, but in others their correlation was moderate to small and their associations were not statistically significant [17][18][19].…”

Association of sleep, screen time and physical activity with overweight and obesity in Mexico

et al. 2019

Purpose Approximately 70% of adults in Mexico are overweight or obese. Unhealthy lifestyle behaviors are also prevalent. We examined the association of three lifestyle behaviors with body mass index (BMI) categories in adults from Mexico. Methods We used publicly available data from the ENSANUT 2016 survey (n = 6419). BMI was used to categorize participants. Differences in sleep duration, suffering from symptoms of insomnia, TV watching time, time in front of any screen, vigorous physical activity (yes vs no), moderate physical activity (> 30 min/day-yes vs. no) and walking (> 60 min/day-yes vs. no) were compared across BMI groups using adjusted linear and logistic regression analyses. Results Thirty-nine percent of participants were overweight and 37% obese. Time in front of TV, in front of any screen, sleep duration and physical activity were significantly associated with overweight and obesity. Compared to normal weight participants, participants in the obese II category spend on average 0.60 h/day (95% CI 0.36-0.84, p = 0.001) and participants in the obese III category 0.54 h/day (95% CI 0.19-0.89, p < 0.001) more in front of any screen; participants in the obese II category reported 0.55 h/day less sleep (95% CI − 0.67 to − 0.43, p < 0.001); participants in the obese III category were less likely to engage in vigorous activity (OR = 0.60, 95% CI 0.43-0.84, p ≤ 0.003), or walking (OR = 0.65, 95% CI 0.49-0.88, p = 0.005). Conclusion Screen time, sleeping hours, and physical activity were associated with overweight and obesity. However, these associations were not consistent across all BMI categories. Assuming established causal connections, overweight individuals and individuals with obesity would benefit from reduced screen time and engaging in moderate/vigorous physical activity. Level of evidence Level III: observational case-control analytic study.
