Unveiling night eating syndrome: how it connects to mental health, insomnia, and quality of life in university students—a cross-sectional study
This study highlights how widespread NES is among university students and sheds light on its strong ties to gender, BMI, smoking, physical activity, and stress levels. Given these findings, it's clear that targeted efforts-like mental health screenings, smoking cessation programs, and stress management initiatives-are needed to help students improve their well-being and reduce NES risk.
