Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the feasibility of integrating sleep management interventions with dietary and exercise interventions for obesity in a 12-week randomized trial. METHODS We randomized 49 overweight or obese adult patients either to a better weight (BW) cognitive behavioral intervention, or to a combination of the BW intervention and a better sleep intervention, better weight-better sleep (BWBS). RESULTS The BWBS group lost weight faster (P=.04), and coping self-efficacy accelerated (P=.01). CONCLUSIONS These preliminary results merit replication in a larger primary care-based trial with a longer continuous intervention and follow-up period.
Integrating sleep management interventions with dietary and exercise interventions for obesity may lead to faster weight loss and improved coping self-efficacy.
