Over the past decades, there has been an increase in overweight and obesity worldwide rates in both in adult and children. In parallel, it has been reported a worsening of sleep duration and quality. Some studies have shown an association between obesity and sleep disturbances (SD) subjects with obesity have a greater risk of SD. As well as SD influences diet, also food choices have been shown to influence various sleep-related variables, such as duration and quality. For this reason, nutrition could represent an important tool not only to lose weight but also to improve sleep in patients with obesity and sleep disturbances. Thus, the aim of this review is to provide an overview of the studies that assessed the association between obesity and SD and , highlighting possible nutritional advices as a tool to improve sleep in patients with obesity and sleep disturbances.

Background: Several studies have investigated the link between sleep disturbances and allostatic load (AL), but the results are varied, and less is known about the associations in clinical samples. The goal of this study is to assess the associations between sleep disturbances and AL among memory clinic participants, and to examine differences according to sex, beta-amyloid status and history of burnout status.
Method: The study was based on 146 memory clinic participants diagnosed with either Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or Subjective Cognitive Impairment (SCI) in the Cortisol and Stress in Alzheimer's Disease Study (Co-STAR) (Sweden).
