The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of Ramadan observance (RAM) on decision-making in Kung-Fu athletes. Fourteen male Kung-Fu athletes (mean age = 19 ± 3 years) completed two test sessions: before Ramadan (BR) and at the end of Ramadan (ER). In the afternoon of each session (between 16:00 h and 18:00 h), participants completed: Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Profile of Mood States (POMS), and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Subjects also reported subjective fatigue, alertness, and concentration. Additionally, all participants performed video-based decision-making tasks (i.e., reaction time and decision-making). Results indicated that reaction time decreased by 30% at ER vs. BR (p < 0.01). However, decision-making decreased by 9.5% at ER vs. BR (p < 0.05). PSQI results indicated sleep quality score, sleep duration, and sleep efficiency were negatively affected at ER compared to BR (p < 0.05). ESS was higher at ER compared to BR (p < 0.05). In addition, fatigue scores, estimated by the POMS and current subjective feelings (i.e., fatigue, concentration, and alertness), were also negatively affected at ER compared to BR (p < 0.05). In conclusion, Ramadan observance was associated with an adverse effect on sleep and decision making, as well as feelings of fatigue, alertness, and concentration.

Abstract Purpose: The COVID-19 outbreak witnessed in the first months of 2020 has led to unprecedented changes in society’s lifestyle. In the current study, we aimed to investigate the effect of this unexpected context on sleep.Methods: During the COVID-19 outbreak, we performed an online survey with individuals formerly recruited for validation of the Spanish version of the sleep questionnaire Satisfaction, Alertness, Timing, Efficiency, and Duration (SATED). In the current survey, we asked the participants to complete the previously answered questionnaires, including the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), a modified version of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and the SATED questionnaire. We also assessed mood using the Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire.Results: The 71 participants were mostly women (75%), with a mean (±SD) age of 40.7 ± 11.9 years. Comparing the previous PSQI score to that during the COVID-19 outbreak, we observed worsening sleep quality (5.45 ± 3.14 to 6.18 ± 3.03 points, p = 0.035). In parallel, there was an increase in the negative mood (p = 0.002). Accordingly, the decrease in sleep quality was substantially correlated with negative mood (p < 0.001). There were no differences in the ESS or SATED.Conclusions: The COVID-19 outbreak-associated events correlate with decreased sleep quality in association with an increase in negative mood. Considering the importance of sleep for a healthy life, and in particular for immune function, efforts should be made to improve awareness of this matter and to offer psychological assistance to affected individuals.

Euhydration remains a challenge in children due to lack of access and unpalatability of water and to other reasons. The purpose of this study was to determine if the availability/access to a beverage (Creative Roots®) influences hydration in children and, therefore, sleep quality and mood. Using a crossover investigation, 46 participants were randomly assigned to a control group (CON) or an intervention group and received Creative Roots® (INT) for two-week periods. We recorded daily first morning and afternoon urine color (Ucol), thirst perception, and bodyweight of the two groups. Participants reported to the lab once per week and provided first morning urine samples to assess Ucol, urine specific gravity (USG), and urine osmolality (Uosmo). Participants also completed the questionnaires Profile of Mood States-Adolescents (POMS-a) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Dependent t-tests were used to assess the effects of the intervention on hydration, mood, and sleep quality. Uosmo was greater and Ucol was darker in the control group (mean ± SD) [Uosmo: INT = 828 ± 177 mOsm·kg−1, CON = 879 ± 184 mOsm·kg−1, (p = 0.037], [Ucol:INT = 5 ± 1, CON = 5 ± 1, p = 0.024]. USG, POMS-a, and PSQI were not significant between the groups. At-home daily afternoon Ucol was darker in the control group [INT = 3 ± 1, CON = 3 ± 1, p = 0.022]. Access to Creative Roots® provides a small, potentially meaningful hydration benefit in children. However, children still demonstrated consistent mild dehydration based on Uosmo, despite consuming the beverage.

O último censo do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) contabilizou 31.088.484 jovens entre 15 e 24 anos (19,8% da população) no Brasil. Em todo o país, a maior parte desses adolescentes (9.446.918) vive em centros urbanos maiores, representando 77,8% dos adolescentes brasileiros1. Um dado fundamental para reflexão é o que aponta para a sobre-mortalidade masculina nos contextos urbanos e metropolitanos (mortes por causa externa, sobretudo por violência) em adolescentes maiores de 15 anos de idade, que vem aumentando de forma alarmante. Os índices de criminalidade, nessa mesma faixa, também têm apresentado índices geometricamente crescentes2. Há indícios na literatura de que situações pós traumáticas induzem atitudes criminosas em razão desse estado psicológico3. Esses e outros dados igualmente preocupantes tornam óbvias a importância e a urgência de medidas direcionadas a essa população, no sentido de melhorar a condição de vida desses jovens. O Projeto YAM assiste adolescentes do sexo masculino do complexo da Vila Maria da Fundação CASA (Centro de Assistência Sócioeducativa ao Adolescente) com idade entre 12 e 20 anos, submetidos a rotinas de vida de múltiplas carências e expostos a altos níveis de violência pelo meio social em que estão inseridos. Essa assistência compreende aulas de ética, cidadania, comportamento, conceitos de espiritualidade além de praticas de Yoga e meditação, apoiadas na cultura do Yoga Clássico ou “Raja Yoga” de Patañjali. Além dessas aulas, buscamos reintegrar socialmente esses jovens, buscando oportunidades de trabalho e bolsas de estudo para complementação de formação acadêmica, após suas altas do período de internação. Uma pesquisa, apoiada pelo Instituto do Coração da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo (InCor-USP), avaliou os resultados de tais práticas nesses adolescentes, demonstrando uma expressiva diminuição nos índices de ansiedade e depressão, moderada e grave (Beck Depression e Anxiety Inventory), melhora significativa na qualidade de vida (Whoqol-bref) e na qualidade de sono (Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index).

ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of auriculoacupuncture in improving the sleep quality of nursing professionals in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: quasi-experimental before and after study, without a control or matching group performed from May to July 2020, in a referral hospital for infectious diseases in Ceará. The sample consisted of 26 nursing professionals, including nurses and technicians, who performed three sessions of auriculoacupuncture, once a week, for four weeks. Sleep quality was measured by the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index. The effects of the intervention were analyzed by the student's “t” test to compare means between the first and last application, one-way ANOVA with repeated measures and post-hoc Sidak´s test. Results: regarding the components of the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index, significant differences were observed between the individuals in the components: subjective sleep quality (p=0.001); sleep latency (p<0.001), sleep duration (p<0.001), habitual sleep efficiency (p=0.011), sleep disorders (p<0.001), sleeping medications (p=0.005) and excessive daytime sleep sleepiness (p<0.001). The overall sleep index also changed significantly (p<0.001). The intervention reduced the sleep quality index score by 52.35%. Conclusion: the changes that occurred were able to change the category in sleep classification through a detailed decrease in the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index scores. Significant differences were observed between the first and final moments in the global index and in all components.
