Sleep Disturbance in Women with Eating Disorders

Sleep disturbance is a common, yet often overlooked, concern among individuals with eating disorder symptoms. A research team at the University of Alberta is seeking female participants to complete an online questionnaire to help understand and develop a treatment for sleep problems in eating disorder populations.  

We are currently seeking female participants who are: 

• Aged 18-50 years old
• Not pregnant
• Currently experiencing sleep disturbance and eating disorder symptoms
  
  

Participation involves: 

• Online survey about thoughts and behaviours related to eating and sleeping which is expected to take 30-40 minutes to complete (but you can take as long as you want)
• Draw entry for 1 of 5 prepaid $50 VISA cards
  
  

Results will be used to inform the development of a behaviourally-based sleep-intervention tailored specifically to eating disorder populations and will help advance the treatment of eating disorders.
