Sleep therapy plus time-restricted eating for weight loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (a program to improve sleep habits) to a time-restricted eating plan (eating only during a certain number of hours each day) helps with weight loss more than time-restricted eating alone. If you struggle with both excess weight and poor sleep, this study may offer a way to address both issues together.
