“…Data from six trials comprising 361 participants that measured sleep quality were pooled in our meta-analysis ( Reid et al, 2010 ; Tang, Liou & Lin, 2010 ; Irwin et al, 2014 ; Hartescu, Morgan & Stevinson, 2015 ; Chan et al, 2016 ; Tadayon, Abedi & Farshadbakht, 2016 ) ( Fig. 3A ).…”

BackgroundInsomnia is common. However, no systematic reviews have examined the effect of exercise on patients with primary and secondary insomnia, defined as both sleep disruption and daytime impairment. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to examine the effectiveness/efficacy of exercise in patients with insomnia.MethodsWe searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, and ClinicalTrials.gov to identify all randomized controlled trials that examined the effects of exercise on various sleep parameters in patients with insomnia. All participants were diagnosed with insomnia, using standard diagnostic criteria or predetermined criteria and standard measures. Data on outcome measures were subjected to meta-analyses using random-effects models. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool and Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach were used to assess the quality of the individual studies and the body of evidence, respectively.ResultsWe included nine studies with a total of 557 participants. According to the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (mean difference [MD], 2.87 points lower in the intervention group; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.95 points lower to 1.79 points lower; low-quality evidence) and the Insomnia Severity Index (MD, 3.22 points lower in the intervention group; 95% CI, 5.36 points lower to 1.07 points lower; very low-quality evidence), exercise was beneficial. However, exercise interventions were not associated with improved sleep efficiency (MD, 0.56% lower in the intervention group; 95% CI, 3.42% lower to 2.31% higher; moderate-quality evidence). Only four studies noted adverse effects. Most studies had a high or unclear risk of selection bias.DiscussionOur findings suggest that exercise can improve sleep quality without notable adverse effects. Most trials had a high risk of selection bias. Higher quality research is needed.

“…This result is different from previous research in Iran where interventions were carried out on subjects in the form of increased physical exercise every week for 12 weeks and resulted in a decrease in PSQI scores at week 12, indicating that physical exercise can improve sleep quality from the aspect of subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, efficiency of sleep habits, and reduced sleep disturbances, use of sleeping pills, and daytime dysfunction. 21 The difference in the results of this study may be due to the study design.…”

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic requires the government to take policies by establishing online learning. Online learning has significantly provided changes to students' daily activities, thus resulting in academic procrastination. Academic procrastination is defined as an act of postponing academic activities that may lead to decreased academic performance, increased physical, emotional, mental problems, and unhealthy sleep patterns. Sleep is referred to as a crucial activity of daily routines, and poor sleep quality may contribute to negative impacts on academic success. Aim: To evaluate the relationship between procrastination and sleep quality for students of the Medical Study Program, Faculty of Medicine, Diponegoro University, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: This research used a cross-sectional design. Subsequently, 84 active students of the Faculty of Medicine, Diponegoro University, Class of 2020, were found to meet the research criteria, agreed to the informed consent, and filled out the complete questionnaire. The statistical test used was Spearman's test analysis. Results: Referring to the results obtained, there was no significant relationship between academic procrastination and sleep quality for students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, 39 (46.4%) students were identified as having a high level of academic procrastination. Meanwhile, the majority of students with poor sleep quality during the COVID-19 pandemic was amounted to 52 (61.9%). Conclusion: There was no significant relationship between academic procrastination and sleep quality for students of the Medical Study Program, Faculty of Medicine, Diponegoro University, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…It is emphasized that this pandemic period was associated with a decline in sleep quality and a disruption of circadian rhythms even in population unaffected by COVID-19 [5][6][7]. Though, in postmenopausal women, there are studies on strategies like walking program, body mind exercise, and yoga [8][9][10][11], there are no studies on the beneficial effects of yoga-nidra (yogic sleep) in this age group during this pandemic period. Yoga is increasingly recognized as a universally accepted science to achieve physical and mental wellbeing, therapeutic potential of yoga-nidra with exercise module was tested on the health in this longitudinal pilot study.…”
