Companies providing employees with nutritious and wholesome meals strike the right balance in achieving a productive, creative and well-bonded team. Compass India’s study on ‘Eating at Work’ (EAW) suggests that energy and productivity levels peak between 9 am to 12 pm. Post-lunch these levels registered a sharp drop due to food intake with a high glycaemic index. Even as we peg it on natural human behaviour, with the right diet, one can boost those afternoon levels. Human resource teams plan for initiatives like sleeping pods, massage stations and yet the outcome continues to be a challenge. EAW research shows that these perks start great, but soon decline, that is, the usage of gyms was less than 2 per cent or 3 per cent. Also, ‘73% chose café meals as their preferred non-monetary perk, ranking ahead of flexible work hours and employee wellness programs’. Good food goes a long way in contributing to productivity. For many organisations, while wellness is a big part of their agenda, the role of food is still at its nascent stage. There is opportunity to elevate that. Hence, companies are taking constant intelligent decisions about workplace food.

Adaptation level theory of tinnitus and neuropsychological theory of tinnitus are extensively used frameworks for understanding emotional and psychological distress among tinnitus sufferers. Objective of the present study was to investigate potential associations between hearing loss, tinnitus, anxiety, depression, and stress. The Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (Newman, Jacobson, & Spitzer, 1996) and the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995)scales were administered to a sample of 110 tinnitus outpatients recruited from Audiology departments of Lahore and Rawalpindi hospitals. Results revealed tinnitus was positively linked with psychological problems. Additionally, it was established that tinnitus is a positive significant predictor for anxiety, stress and depression. The moderation models related to the interactions between psychological problems and hearing loss were negative significant predictors for tinnitus symptoms. Moreover, the comparative analysis between gender differences revealed a significant diversity in the levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. Results also elucidated that patients at initial stages of hearing loss were more prone towards reporting tinnitus symptoms along with emerging psychological problems.

The aim of the present study was to determine whether normal sleepers with vulnerability to insomnia, via high sleep reactivity, demonstrate more sleep-related dysfunctional cognitions and behaviours and poorer psychological health compared to those who are not vulnerable. Further, the influence of stress on the relationship between sleep reactivity and psychological health was also examined. A cross-sectional survey of 737 young adult ‘normal’ sleepers from the general population was undertaken. Results indicated normal sleepers vulnerable to insomnia demonstrated more sleep-related dysfunctional cognitions and behaviours as well as poorer psychological health compared to those not vulnerable. Furthermore, the relationship between sleep reactivity and psychological health was moderated by perceived stress over the previous month and life events over the previous year. Therefore, identifying and supporting those who are vulnerable to insomnia may be a fruitful avenue for preventative public health campaign to mitigate both insomnia and poor psychological health.
