Massachusetts: A new study has found that people with eating disorders are more likely to suffer from insomnia and wake up early in the morning.
According to Hasan Dashti, the senior author of the study from Massachusetts General Hospital, USA, the results of the research indicate anorexia nervosa (eating problems) as a morning sickness, and in past studies, this problem and insomnia have been linked. Confirm the relationship between
Previous research has suggested a possible link between eating problems and the body’s internal clock (circadian clock). The clock controls a wide range of biological functions (such as sleep) and affects almost every organ in the body.
In this new study, the researchers studied genes associated with anoxia, the body’s internal clock and sleep behaviors such as insomnia, including genes associated with anorexia and morning chronotype (the tendency to wake up early in the morning and go to bed early at night). A two-way relationship was observed.
The results revealed that waking up early in the morning may increase the risk of anorexia and that having anorexia may be a cause of waking up early in the morning. However, the study did not determine the timing of early risers but suggested that they may be naturally early risers compared to the general population.
