Summary: Sleep is important, but staying up late has become a problem, especially among university students. Previous studies have found a connection between sleep procrastination, sleep biorhythms, and problematic smartphone use (PSU). This two-wave study explored the reciprocal relationship between PSU and sleep procrastination, while also considering the moderating role of sleep biorhythms. The results revealed a reciprocal relationship between PSU and sleep procrastination, with sleep biorhythms moderating this relationship.

The study finds a positive relationship from loneliness to PIU, as well as from PIU to loneliness. Additionally, the study reveals that this relationship is stronger in Eastern countries, with more males, more young adults, and in more recent years.

Summary: Research examines the connection between body dissatisfaction in children, upward comparisons via social media, and the protective role of trust in parents. Results indicate that higher levels of upward comparison are associated with higher levels of body dissatisfaction, compensatory exercise, and loss of control eating. Trust in fathers moderates the association between appearance comparison and body dissatisfaction, while no evidence of the protective role of trust in mothers was found. Further research is needed to enhance our understanding of body dissatisfaction in children and environmental factors that may protect them from the negative effects of social media.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the treatment effect of therapeutic interventions for gaming disorder. The results suggest that there may be an overall effect of these interventions, but confidence in the findings is limited due to small-study effects, publication bias, a limited number of studies, and a lack of standardization. More high-quality studies are needed to support reliable meta-analytic estimates.

Summary: This article examines the contributions and remaining barriers faced by NP and other APRN MOUD prescribers. Research found that NPs play a key role in MOUD treatment, but barriers such as scope of practice regulations, regulatory hurdles, stigma, and lack of supportive services still exist. More studies are needed to explore the impact of waiver elimination on MOUD prescribing and service access.

Summary: This study examined the effectiveness of self-regulation strategies in reducing harms associated with in-play sports betting. The results showed that setting monetary limits was effective in reducing financial, interpersonal, and health harms. However, setting time limits was found to increase spending and overall harms. These findings support the applicability of select self-regulation strategies from traditional forms of gambling to in-play betting, and highlight the need for further research on responsible gambling strategies.

Summary: This study examined the associations between empirically-generated body mass index (BMI) trajectories and the risk of current use of combustible cigarettes and e-cigarettes among adolescents. The findings showed that overweight and obese adolescents were more likely to use combustible cigarettes and e-cigarettes compared to those with normal weight trajectories. Additionally, adolescents with fluctuating BMI trajectories were associated with higher weight control beliefs. These results highlight the importance of considering weight trajectories and weight control beliefs in understanding tobacco product use among adolescents.
