“…Additionally, there is a bi-directional relationship between sleep and both acute and chronic anxiety where sleep disturbance is observed in individuals with anxiety (Soehner and Harvey, 2012 ) and having a sleep disturbance may predict the development of an anxiety disorder (Neckelmann et al, 2007 ). Specifically, increased sleep onset latency has been observed in anxiety and related disorders (Cox and Olatunji, 2016 ) and stress (Maskevich et al, 2020 ). Therefore, early sleep stage-related benefits of GABA consumption could be associated with GABA's stress reduction properties, rather than direct sleep inducing and/or maintaining benefits per se .…”

Effects of Oral Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) Administration on Stress and Sleep in Humans: A Systematic Review

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a non-proteinogenic amino acid and is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain. GABA's stress-reducing, and sleep enhancing effects have been established. However, although several human clinical trials have been conducted, results regarding the role of natural and/or biosynthetic oral GABA intake on stress and sleep are mixed. We performed a systematic review to examine whether natural and/or biosynthetic oral GABA intake has an effect on stress and sleep. We systematically searched on PubMed database for studies published up to February 2020 following PRISMA guidelines. Only placebo-controlled human trials that assessed stress, sleep, and related psychophysiological outcomes as a response to natural GABA (i.e., GABA that is present naturally in foods) or biosynthetic GABA (i.e., GABA that is produced via fermentation) intake were included. Fourteen studies met the criteria and were included in the systematic review. Although more studies are needed before any inferences can be made about the efficacy of oral GABA consumption on stress and sleep, results show that there is limited evidence for stress and very limited evidence for sleep benefits of oral GABA intake.

“…In addition, adolescents with PTSD experience more problems in their daily lives, such as sleep disorders including insomnia and nightmares ( Maguire et al, 2020 ). If adolescents do not get enough rest at night, they might find it difficult to deal with academic problems during the day; indeed, previous research has found that insufficient sleep causes adolescents to feel more pressure during the day ( Maskevich et al, 2020 ). This pressure can lead to severe academic boredom, especially in adolescents who face the pressure of entering school ( Lee et al, 2013 ).…”

Background: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has threatened adolescents’ mental health and even elicited their academic problems. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is one of the most common negative psychological reactions, and academic boredom is a typical academic problem to the pandemic. PTSD might be related to academic boredom, but the underlying mechanism of this potential relation in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic remains unclear.Aims: Under the framework of the job demands–resources model and the model of compensatory internet use, this study aims to examine the mediating role of mobile phone dependency in the relation between PTSD and academic boredom.Methods: Six hundred and thirty-one middle school students in Hubei Province were investigated using self-report questionnaires. SPSS19.0 and Mplus7.0 were used for data analysis.Results: PTSD symptoms were associated positively with academic boredom, and mobile phone dependence played a mediating role in the relation between PTSD and academic boredom. Specifically, adolescents with severe PTSD symptoms tended to report greater dependency on mobile phones, and hence show higher levels of boredom in learning.Conclusion: PTSD symptoms of adolescents directly aggravated their academic boredom, and indirectly affected academic boredom by increasing their dependence on mobile phones.

“…Coping styles are an individual’s unique inertia behavior, which will make the individual’s psychology and physiology change in the face of life events, and further affect the sleep quality. Coping styles, as cognitive and behavioral strategies employed in response to the appraisal of stress, are essential to consider in the context of adolescent stress and sleep [ 19 ]. Previous studies have researched the relationships among negative life events, coping strategies, and sleep quality in patients [ 20 , 21 ] or young adults [ 22 ], and few studies have examined the relationships in school adolescents, especially junior high school students, who spend most of their time in school.…”

Background Limited published research has examined the relationships of negative life events and coping styles with sleep quality in Chinese junior high school students. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of poor sleep quality and to clarify the role of coping styles between negative life events and sleep quality. Methods A cross-sectional study of 3081 students was conducted in Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, Southeastern China. Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Checklist, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire, and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index were applied to assess negative life events, coping styles, and sleep quality, respectively. Descriptive analyses, independent-samples t tests, one-way analyses of variance, Pearson correlation analyses, and structural equation modeling (SEM) were applied to analyze the data. Results The prevalence of poor sleep quality was 26.7%. Negative life events (B = 0.038, P < 0.001) and negative coping style (B = 0.049, P < 0.001) demonstrated a positive association with poor sleep quality, while positive coping style indicated a negative association with poor sleep quality (B = −0.029, P < 0.001). Interactions of negative life events and coping styles with sleep quality were not found (all P > 0.05). The association between negative life events and sleep quality was mediated by negative coping styles. Conclusions Our results indicated that poor sleep quality was common in these Chinese adolescents. Negative life events and negative coping style were associated with an increased prevalence of poor sleep quality, while the positive coping style was related to a decreased prevalence of poor sleep quality. A negative coping style mediated the association between negative life events and sleep quality.
