Abstract :Purpose: This study aims to investigate the differences that emerged with mindful eating, sleep quality, and night eating syndrome in adults. Material and Methods: A survey model was used for the study, and it included randomized selected 18-65 aged 580 adults in Konya with a questionnaire consisting of demographic and anthropometric measurements, nutrition habits, Mindful Eating Questionnaire insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MEQ-30);, Night Eating Questionnaire insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NEQ);, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PSQI);. Results: The mean insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(x̄±SE); of the MEQ-30 was found to be 3.25±0.027 in women and 3.22±0.024 men. Men’s emotional eating score is higher than women, and their eating control, awareness, and eating discipline scores are lower than women, eating control insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.002); and eating discipline differed insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.045); for BMI. Due to the NEQ scores, 59% of those at risk for Night Eating Syndrome insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NES); were in women and 41% men. Mood/sleep dysfunction scores differed in gender among other sub-dimensions of NEQ insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.044);. In PSQI total scores, good insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(14.06±0.372); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(55.3%); and poor insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(14.22±0.355); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(44.7%); sleep quality did not differ insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.771);. A negative correlation was found between NEQ and MEQ-30 scores insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.815); and PSQI and NEQ scores insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.195);. However, MEQ-30 and the PSQI scores showed significant differences insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.000);, and the correlation was found to be low insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r=0.024);. Conclusion: Mindful eating, and sleep quality scores may be variable according to gender and BMI, it has a relationship between mindful eating and sleep quality, which has not been determined by night eating behaviors. Therefore, it is important to consider that factors be an indicator of maintaining healthy eating habits.
