“…Engaging in and practicing stress reduction techniques like incorporating fun outdoor activities into Sabbath, and gathering together with family, friends, and church members to enjoy companionship, laughter and good food, bring meaning to life, and are an aspect of Sabbath practice that improves mental health (Superville et al 2014). Looking forward to a physical and mental break, in the form of a spiritual rest, can promote overall mental healing for an individual, which leads to improved sleep, stress reduction, and improved overall health (Helvig, Wade, and Hunter-Eades 2016). Sleep is not always associated with rest for all individuals, which is why cognitive rest is important, to allow the brain to heal and unwind (Helvig et al 2016).…”

High-quality sleep is essential for a healthy long life. Low-quality sleep is an unrecognized worldwide epidemic. To determine whether: (a) individuals who positively viewed that “the Sabbath brings rest” report higher-quality sleep in the future, (b) individuals who avoided secular activities on Sabbath report higher-quality sleep in the future, (c) moderation analysis identified the significant covariates effect of Sabbath rest on sleep disturbance, and (d) mediation clarified the covariate relationships of the two independent variables (Sabbath rest and secular activities). A generalized linear model was used for analysis. Multiple imputation was used for missing data. Less than 5% of total data was missing before imputation in this longitudinal, prospective-design study. Total sleep disturbance (TSD) in wave 2 predicted Sabbath rest from wave 1, p = .010. Results showed that participants who believed that “the Sabbath brings rest” had significantly less TSD overall, 4 years in the future. All ages, ethnicities, and genders benefited from Sabbath rest. None of the covariates lost significance for Sabbath rest. Anticipating a weekly Sabbath appears to improve longterm sleep quality, and therefore potentially contributes to long-term health benefits.

“…In turn, these changes are beneficial to initiating and maintaining sleep [9,20,21]. Research also showed positive links between SB and sleep; relaxing before bedtime is often done in a sitting, reclining, or lying position, and can be beneficial for sleep, as it facilitates relaxation and helps to slow down from the day [99,[101][102][103][104]. Moreover, relaxing decreases stress hormones and allows the body to prepare for sleep [99,[102][103][104].…”

Physical activity has been proposed as an effective alternative treatment option for the increasing occurrence of sleep problems in older adults. Although higher physical activity levels are associated with better sleep, the association between specific physical activity intensities and sedentary behaviour (SB) with sleep remains unclear. This study examines the associations of statistically modelled time reallocations between sedentary time and different physical activity intensities with sleep outcomes using isotemporal substitution analysis. Device-measured physical activity data and both objective and subjective sleep data were collected from 439 adults aged 55+ years. Replacing 30 min of SB with moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) was significantly associated with an increased number of awakenings. Moreover, a reallocation of 30 min between light physical activity (LPA) and MVPA was significantly associated with increased sleep efficiency. Furthermore, reallocating 30 min of SB to LPA showed a significant association with decreased sleep efficiency. There were no significant associations of time reallocations for wake time after sleep onset, length of awakenings, and sleep quality. These results improve our understanding of the interrelationships between different intensities of movement behaviours and several aspects of sleep in older adults.

“…Rapid implementation has a possibility to narrow the evidence-practice gap by addressing the delay of implementing research into practice and is an entirely new concept. Concept analysis is a method for clarifying foundational ideas and is derived from a deep analysis of core elements of a target problem or issue under investigation [15][16][17]. By way of contrast, an integrative review provides a systematic approach to data examination, and considers a range of diverse studies, often traversing both qualitative and quantitative methods, with synthesis and conclusions drawn.…”

Background: The concept of rapid implementation has emerged in the literature recently, but without a precise definition. Further exploration is required to distinguish the concept's unique meanings and significance from the perspective of implementation science. The study clarifies the concept of rapid implementation and identifies its attributes, antecedents, and consequences. We present a theoretical definition of rapid implementation to clarify its unique meaning and characteristics. Methods: Rodgers evolutionary concept analysis method, combined with a systematic integrative review, were used to clarify the concept of rapid implementation. A comprehensive search of four databases, including EMBASE, MEDLINE, SCOPUS, and WEB OF SCIENCE was conducted, as well as relevant journals and reference lists of retrieved studies. After searching databases, 2442 papers were identified from 1963 to 2019; 24 articles were found to fit the inclusion criteria to capture data on rapid implementation from across healthcare settings in four countries. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive thematic analysis. Results: The results locate the introduction of rapid implementation, informed by implementation science. Guidance for further conceptualisation to bridge the gap between research and practice and redefine rigour, adapting methods used (current approaches, procedures and frameworks), and challenging clinical trial design (efficacy-effectiveness-implementation pipeline) is provided.
