In today's culture, there are numerous factors that may act as a stress catalyst, making stress a big aspect of one's life. Covid-19 has wrought tremendous havoc all over the planet. Stress isn't just an issue for adults; it's also growing more common among children of all ages. Proper stress management is incredibly difficult to achieve since parents do not have the time to adequately care for their children. Most people assume that stress can only be caused by a traumatic event, but the fact is that tension may also be caused by a good experience. There are numerous causes of student stress that can lead to stress in a student's life, including misbehavior between the student and the teacher, which can lead to increased tension and stress. A lack of parental engagement also led in attacks on all pupils. Children in general do not pay attention to their eating habits, making them more vulnerable to stress in general. Inadequate sleep is also a source of stress, and students all over the world suffer as a result. Students' capacity to manage stress is hit or miss.

Hubungan Penggunaan Gagdget terhadap Kualitas Tidur Remaja: Literature Review

Abstract80% of the use og gadgets in Indonesia is dominated by teenagers. Teenagers can spend their time just playing with their gadgets. Meanwhile, research data show that 63% of adolescents have inadequate sleep quality. This study aimed to determine the correlation between gadget use and adolescent sleep quality using a literature review study. Using a literature review design with the PEO (population, exposure, outcame) method ang using five articles from Google Scholar, Pubmed, Proquest published in 2010-2021. It showed that most of the respondents were male (52.42%) and 13 years old (30,52%). On the use of gadgets, most respondents were in the category of low use or not addicted (71.97%). Most of the respondents also had good quality of sleep (75.30%). The five articles obtained a p-value less than 0,05. There is a correlation between the use of gadgets with adolescents sleep quality.Keywords: Adolescents; gadgets; sleep quality AbstrakPenggunaan gadget di Indonesia 80% didominasi oleh usia remaja.

Habitual Sleep, Sleep Duration Differential, and Weight Change Among Adults

We assessed longitudinal associations between diary-measured sleep duration and clinically assessed body mass index (BMI) among 784 men and women enrolled in the Wisconsin Sleep Cohort Study (mean [SD] age = 51.1 [8.0] years at baseline). The outcome was BMI (kg/m2). Key predictors were habitual sleep duration (defined as average weekday nighttime sleep duration) and sleep duration differential (defined as the difference between average weekday and average weekend nighttime sleep duration) at each data collection wave. Men with shorter habitual sleep duration on weekdays had higher BMI than men with longer habitual sleep duration on weekdays. Participants with larger differentials between weekday and weekend sleep duration experienced more rapid BMI gain over time for both men and women. Inadequate sleep, characterized as shorter habitual sleep during weekdays and larger weekday-weekend sleep differential, is positively associated with BMI levels and trajectories among men and women in mid-to-late life.

Transient and Recurrent Vision Loss in a High-Altitude Porter from Pakistan on a Polish Winter Karakoram Expedition

Visual sensations appear in most migraine auras, but binocular blindness is uncommon. We described a case of multiple transient losses of vision in a man on a winter expedition to K2. His symptoms were later diagnosed as recurrent visual auras without pain. Sojourns at altitude can induce migraine attack; therefore, susceptible individuals should avoid factors that might provoke migraines at high altitude, such as improper acclimatization, dehydration and an inadequate sleep regime.

Sleep duration and sleep efficiency in UK long-distance heavy goods vehicle drivers

ObjectivesTo profile sleep duration and sleep efficiency in UK long-distance heavy goods vehicle (HGV) drivers and explore demographic, occupational and lifestyle predictors of sleep.MethodsCross-sectional analyses were carried out on 329 HGV drivers (98.5% men) recruited across an international logistics company within the midland’s region, UK. Sleep duration and efficiency were assessed via wrist-worn accelerometry (GENEActiv) over 8 days. Proportions of drivers with short sleep duration (<6 hour/24 hours and <7 hour/24 hours) and inadequate sleep efficiency (<85%) were calculated. Demographic, occupational and lifestyle data were collected via questionnaires and device-based measures. Logistic regression assessed predictors of short sleep duration and inadequate sleep efficiency.Results58% of drivers had a mean sleep duration of <6 hour/24 hours, 91% demonstrated <7-hour sleep/24 hours and 72% achieved <85% sleep efficiency. Sleeping <6 hour/24 hours was less likely in morning (OR 0.45, 95% CI 0.21 to 0.94) and afternoon (OR 0.24, CI 0.10 to 0.60) shift workers (vs night) and if never smoked (vs current smokers) (OR 0.45, CI –0.22 to 0.92). The likelihood of sleeping <7 hour/24 hours reduced with age (OR 0.92, CI 0.87 to 0.98). The likelihood of presenting inadequate sleep efficiency reduced with age (OR 0.96, CI 0.93 to 0.99) and overweight body mass index category (vs obese) (OR 0.47, CI 0.27 to 0.82).ConclusionsThe high prevalence of short sleep duration and insufficient sleep quality (efficiency) rate suggest that many HGV drivers have increased risk of excessive daytime sleepiness, road traffic accidents and chronic disease. Future sleep research in UK HGV cohorts is warranted given the road safety and public health implications.
