Abstract
There is an extensive
literature on different
psychological factors that
contribute to either
facilitating healthy eating or decreasing unhealthy
eating, such as inhibitory control (Bartholdy,
Dalton, O'Daly, Campbell, & Schmidt, 2016),
emotion (Cardi, Esposito, Clarke, Schifano, &
Treasure, 2015) and intentions (McDermott et al.,
2015). Sleep, as a behavior, could be considered yet
another factor in determining eating behavior. This
article shows that the influence of sleep on eating
behavior takes places through direct and indirect
routes by discussing literature on the relations
between sleep and eating behavior, between sleep
and psychological factors and linking it to
literature on the relation between psychological
factors and eating behavior
