Background Sensitive scalp or irritable bowel syndrome has been previously shown to be associated with sensitive skin. We wondered whether sensitive eyelids and sensitive eyes could also be associated with sensitive skin. Methods A cross‐sectional epidemiological study was carried out on a representative sample of French people, according to the quota method, using a questionnaire. Results A total of 2048 subjects were included in the present study. Notably, 52.2% declared sensitive eyes, which was more frequent in women than in men. The subjects who reported sensitive eyes were more numerous according to the severity of skin sensitivity, the severity of sleep disorders and the presence of bright eyes. More than half of the subjects with sensitive eyes thought that they were sensitive to sun exposure, dust, computer or touch pads or dry air. The presence of sensitive eyelids was reported by 18.65% (more frequent in women) and was associated with sensitive skin and sensitive eyes, sun exposure and exposure to dust. Conclusion This study is the first to investigate sensitive eyelids or sensitive eyes. Sensitive eyelids can be considered a localization of sensitive skin. The concept of sensitive eyes is not commonly used by ophthalmologists and remains to be more precisely defined.

“…Fatigue and drowsiness in the workplace are consequences of modern industrial society, which can cause many accidents and poor mental and physical health outcomes, mostly due to work in high demand, long service periods, and circadian rhythm disturbances, to accumulative sleep debt common in many industries [9], [10]. According to Krausman et al [11], fatigue can also be caused by intense cognitive activity on physical demands.…”

BACKGROUND: Occupational safety and health are health sciences that are applied through work and the work environment to obtain the highest degree of health both physically, mentally, and socially through preventive and curative efforts in the workplace. The emergence of work fatigue in workers is evidence of a decrease in bodily functions caused by both individual factors and the work environment so that precautions are needed. AIM: This study aimed to see the effect of workplace stretching exercise on work fatigue in workers at PT. X International, Indonesia. METHODS: This study used a quasi-experimental study with one group pre-test and post-test design. Respondents were 30 people selected by purposive sampling and met the study inclusion criteria. The provision of workplace stretching exercises was carried out for 15 working days and is given every 10 am after workers work for 2 h. RESULTS: The mean of work fatigue before intervention (pre-test) is 454.8133 and the average work fatigue after an intervention (post-test) is 321.9133 so that there are differences in the average work fatigue before and after the intervention. CONCLUSION: Workplace stretching exercise intervention affects reducing work fatigue in production workers of PT. X International Indonesia.

“…This finding also highlights the possible role of socialisation and leisure activities in improving daytime alertness. 22,23 Additionally, dose of caffeine in 'Coffee-Only' Group may not have been high enough to cause significant increase in alertness as compared to non-interventional group. Nevertheless, non-interventional dissipation of daytime sleepiness merits further investigation.…”

Background: Daytime sleepiness impairs academic performance in college students. Napping is a counter to daytime sleepiness, but often causes sleep inertia on waking up. Caffeine absorption from beverages peaks 30 minutes after their ingestion presenting a window of opportunity to have a short nap such that the time of waking up is in synchrony with onset of action of caffeine; thereby abolishing post-nap inertia and achieving synergistic mitigation of fatigue.Objective of this study to assess effect of nap, coffee, ‘coffee and nap’ and ‘wakeful break without coffee’ on daytime sleepiness using Psychomotor Vigilance Tests (PVTs) and Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS) score.Methods: After Institutional Review Board clearance, 10 subjects (aged 19-21 years) were selected using their Epworth Sleepiness Scale score (ESS >5) and called to the study site 8 times on different days to be exposed to these four conditions twice - only coffee (standardized), only nap (30min), coffee immediately followed by 30min nap, wakeful break (30min) without coffee or nap. Pre and post scores were recorded for electronic PVT (Reaction Time and Motor Responsiveness) and KSS for each attempt.Results: Test outcome was associated with intervention used (p=0.00001). ‘Nap only’ group was associated with deterioration in outcomes (p=0.00001), accounting for highest percentage (41%) of all deteriorated test outcomes. ‘Coffee only’ group was associated with improvement in test scores (p=0.00001), responsible for highest share (38.8%) of all improved test outcomes. ‘Nap only’ and ‘Coffee-nap’ group showed improvement in 11.67% and 21.67% of outcomes respectively. Conclusions: Pre-nap coffee is a proactive counter-measure to post nap sleep inertia.
