Those who have persistent trouble sleeping may have an especially difficult grieving process after the death of a loved one, a new study co-authored by a University of Arizona researcher finds.
Most people who lose a close friend or family member will experience sleep troubles as part of the grieving process, as the body and mind react to the stress of the event, said study co-author Mary-Frances O Connor, a professor in the UArizona Department of Psychology.
But O Connor and her collaborators found that those who had persistent sleep challenges before losing someone were at higher risk for developing complicated grief after a loss. Complicated grief is characterized by a yearning for a lost loved one so intense and persistent that it disrupts a person s daily functioning. It occurs in 7-10% of bereaved people, O Connor said.

person) to drop from 1.06 to .94, that translates from exponential growth to exponential decline, said
Joanna Masel, a professor of in the UArizona Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and a member of the university s BIO5 Institute. Masel led the development of the app s risk scoring component, as a member of the UArizona Covid Watch implementation team and a consultant for WeHealth, the company that distributes the app.
