Grant Benham

Summary: The study found that the impact of COVID-19 on stress and sleep among U.S. college students may not be entirely negative. While stress, sleep quality, and insomnia did not significantly increase during the pandemic, bedtime and waketime were pushed later with longer sleep duration. Exploratory analyses revealed a more complex picture of differences in sleep variables, including longer sleep latency, increased use of sleep medication, and poorer sleep efficiency during the pandemic.

Pongrac Acs et al.

Summary: The Hungarian version of IPAQ-SF demonstrated excellent test-retest reliability but low-to-fair concurrent validity for moderate and vigorous physical activity, walking, and sitting time compared to objective criterion measures among Hungarian adults. This suggests that there are some limitations in using IPAQ-SF to measure physical activity levels.
