Zusammenfassung
The present research focuses on the analysis of the quality of sleep in eating disorder patients (EDs). For this purpose, scores of 13 EDs patients and 15 controls on the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Inventory (PSQI), the Epworth Somnolence Scale (ESS), the Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep Scale (DBAS-18) and a sleep diary were compared. Significant differences were found with regard to subjective quality of sleep, hypnotic medication use, and sleep problems in the PSQI; in addition significant differences were shown on daytime sleepiness levels in the ESS, and in relation to several dysfunctional beliefs about the sleep. In conclusion, EDs patients show less quality of sleep and more sleep problems than controls. These results show the need to be aware into to sleep problems in ED therapeutic interventions.
