Finally, sample size in this study was too small to run statistical analyses, however, this intervention may be more beneficial for those who meet full diagnostic criteria for NES. In full- threshold group, NESS and ISI scores seemed to improve at a greater rate, with NESS scores dropping on average 12 points and ISI dropping on average 7.2 points at post-treatment. This appears to be a stronger treatment outcome compared to the sub-threshold group, who had average NESS decreases of 4.4 points and average ISI point decreases of 1.8 points. Interestingly, depression scores reduced at the same rate in the full- and sub-threshold groups, with a mean BDI drop of 9.6 points It is possible this treatment may best target those with full-threshold NES, but sleep quality might be most improved in those specifically struggling with nocturnal ingestions. Further, depression ratings may be more severe and show more improvement in those with evening hyperphagia. Further studies could examine what treatments might be more beneficial based on symptom endorsement and how treatments can be tailored to create the best outcome. This study was an important step in advancing the literature on treatments for night eating behavior. Until this time, BLT had been shown to be a helpful treatment for NES in two case studies. This is the first study to systematically examine whether this is an efficacious treatment for this disorder. Given the improvement to night eating behaviors after a 14-day intention, further research is needed to better understand BLT as a treatment for night eating. 57
