Stress Levels in Mothers of Preschoolers Increased During Pandemic by Hannah Joy on May 5, 2021 at 5:05 PM
Twice as many of the mothers reported loss of sleep and increased stress levels during the COVID-19 outbreak, reveals a new study. Moms of young children are already less likely to get the recommended amount of sleep and physical activity than women who don t have children. These shortfalls could raise the risk for obesity and poor health, and the lockdown worsened the situation by increasing the levels of stress and household chaos, said Chelsea Kracht, Ph.D., a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Pediatric Obesity and Health Behavior Laboratory at Pennington Biomedical Research Center.

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.
