The authors of the article have conducted a survey among a total of 330 participants, all above the age of 18, and based on the results they have reached a conclusion of “… high BMI was shown to be related to shorter sleep duration, longer sleep latency, greater use of sleep medications and worse binge-eating, after controlling for depression and demographics” (Yeh & Brown, 2014). I have had these problems when I was obese, which assures the hypothesis that I have developed is in fact correct. However, there are other factors that contribute to the high BMI and affect sleep, the main two factors are night-eating syndrome (NEM) and binge-eating disorder (BED). These two factors highly affect the relationship between BMI and sleeping,
