Early vs. Late Time-Restricted Eating Effects on Sleep Quality from a Crossover Trial

31 women with overweight or obesity participated in a randomized crossover trial comparing early and late time-restricted eating. Actigraphy data from the ChronoFast trial shows improvements in sleep efficiency and fragmentation specifically with early TRE. The dataset, authored by Beeke Peters, is a secondary analysis of the trial registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Use Cases

• Compare objective sleep metrics between early and late time-restricted eating schedules based on actigraphy data.
• Analyze correlations between hunger/satiety scores and changes in sleep quality using Visual Analogue Scale data.
• Investigate baseline sleep quality as a predictor of intervention response using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores.

Strengths

• Includes objective sleep assessment via blinded actigraphy, as mentioned in the methods.
• Uses a randomized crossover design with 31 participants and a washout phase, described in the trial protocol.
• Data is openly shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The sample is limited to 31 women, which may affect generalizability.
