Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia as an Adjunct to Time-restricted Eating on Weight Loss in Adults With Overweight or Obesity and Chronic Insomnia
14 sierpnia 2026 zaktualizowane przez: Angus Pak-Hung Yu, Chinese University of Hong Kong
Effects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI) as an Adjunct Intervention for Time-restricted Eating on Weight Loss in Adults With Overweight or Obesity and Chronic Insomnia
Obesity (being overweight due to excess body fat) is a common health condition that increases the risk of developing problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Time-restricted eating (TRE), which involves eating all meals within a set period each day, has become a popular and simple approach for weight management. However, not everyone achieves the same results from TRE. Research suggests that poor sleep and chronic insomnia can increase hunger, affect food choices, and lead to higher calorie intake, which may make weight loss more difficult.
This study aims to examine whether improving sleep can enhance the effectiveness of flexible time-restricted eating (FTRE) for weight loss. Participants will receive either FTRE alone or FTRE combined with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI), a well-established treatment for chronic insomnia. By comparing these two approaches, this study will help determine whether addressing sleep problems can improve weight management outcomes in individuals with overweight or obesity and chronic insomnia. The findings may contribute to the development of more effective and comprehensive lifestyle programmes for improving both sleep and weight-related health.

Szczegółowy opis
This study aims to investigate whether CBTI can enhance the effectiveness of TRE for weight control in adults with chronic insomnia and overweight or obesity.
This assessor-blinded, two-arm, parallel-group randomized controlled pilot trial plans to recruit 50 Chinese adults aged 18 years or older with chronic insomnia and overweight or obesity (BMI ≥23 kg/m²) in Hong Kong.
Participants will be randomized (1:1) to a flexible time-restricted eating group (FTRE, n=25) or a flexible time-restricted eating plus CBTI group (CBTI+FTRE, n=25).
Both groups will follow a 16:8 time-restricted eating schedule for 12 weeks, while participants in the CBTI+FTRE group will additionally receive a 12-week group-based CBTI program consisting of biweekly 90-minute sessions.
Assessments will be conducted at baseline, post-intervention (week 12), and follow-up (week 24).
The primary outcome is body weight.
Secondary outcomes include body mass index, waist and neck circumferences, body composition, insomnia severity, sleep quality, objective and subjective sleep parameters, physical activity, blood pressure, appetite, food intake, eating window, and exercise habits.
We hypothesize that the addition of CBTI to TRE will result in greater weight loss and improved sleep outcomes compared with TRE alone

Aktywny komparator: FTRE
Flexible Time-restricted Eating
|
Participants assigned to the FTRE group will be instructed to follow a 16:8 time-restricted eating schedule, consuming food ad libitum within an 8-hour eating window and fasting for the remaining 16 hours of the day.
No restrictions will be placed on the type or quantity of foods consumed during the eating window, and participants will not be required to track their energy intake.
During fasting periods, participants will be encouraged to maintain adequate hydration by drinking water and may also consume non-caloric beverages, such as plain tea or black coffee.
Participants will be allowed to select their preferred 8-hour eating window, provided it begins between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM and ends between 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM.

Eksperymentalny: CBTI+FTRE
Flexible Time-restricted Eating plus Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia
|
In addition to following the TRE instruction in the TRE group, participants in the CBTI+TRE group will also participate in a 12-week group-based CBTI intervention with biweekly 90-minute sessions.
The intervention comprises all CBTI elements, including sleep hygiene, sleep restriction, stimulus control, cognitive restructuring, and stress and relaxation techniques.
Intervention will be delivered by trained research personnel.

Insomnia Severity Index (ISI)
Ramy czasowe: 12 weeks, and 24 weeks
|
The ISI, a commonly used instrument in clinical settings, will be used to assess the perceived insomnia severity.
It consists of seven items to evaluate sleep onset, sleep maintenance, early awakening, satisfaction with the current sleep pattern, impairment of daily functioning due to sleep, noticeable impairment due to sleep problems, degree of distress and concerns caused by sleep problems.
Each item is rated on a "0-4" Likert scale, resulting in a range of scores between 0 and 28.
The higher the score, the higher the perceived severity.

12 weeks, and 24 weeks
|
|
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
Ramy czasowe: 12 weeks, and 24 weeks
|
Subjective sleep quality will be evaluated using the PSQI.
The PSQI assesses 7 components of subjective sleep quality, including self-reported sleep quantity, use of sleep medication, and disturbances of sleep, and is considered one of the most frequently used assessments of subjective sleep quality.
The total score of the PSQI ranges from 0 to 21, where lower values indicate better sleep.
