Improving Sleep Quality through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Alters Food Preferences in Adults with Overweight and Obesity

Highlight

  • Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBTi) significantly improves self-reported sleep duration and quality in overweight adults.
  • CBTi reduces cravings for sweet and savoury foods, improving food craving control and shifting implicit food preferences.
  • Objective accelerometer data showed no significant differences in sleep duration or efficiency, suggesting subjective improvements may precede measurable changes.
  • No clear evidence found yet for changes in actual dietary intake post-intervention, possibly due to under-reporting and limited sample size.
