AbstractHumans need about seven to nine hours of sleep per night. Sleep habits are heritable, associated with brain function and structure, and intrinsically related to well-being, mental, and physical health. However, the biological basis of the interplay of sleep and health is incompletely understood. Here we show, by combining neuroimaging and behavioral genetic approaches in two independent large-scale datasets (HCP (n = 1106), age range: 22–37, eNKI (n = 783), age range: 12–85), that sleep, mental, and physical health have a shared neurobiological basis in grey matter anatomy; and that these relationships are driven by shared genetic factors. Though local associations between sleep and cortical thickness were inconsistent across samples, we identified two robust latent components, highlighting the multivariate interdigitation of sleep, intelligence, BMI, depression, and macroscale cortical structure. Our observations provide a system-level perspective on the interrelation of sleep, mental, and physical conditions, anchored in grey-matter neuroanatomy.

The COVID-19 pandemic has imposed threats on both physical and mental health since its outbreak. This paper aims to highlight the mental and physical health challenges amongst the home-quarantined youths of Dhaka city. A total of 150 young adults were surveyed, within the age range of (12-30). The participation was voluntary and was completed online.The findings suggest, many youngsters are currently suffering a wide range of mental health issues related to anxiety, fear, isolation, depression, feeling lonely, emotional outburst, insomnia, and other sleeping/ eating habit disturbances during COVID 19 pandemic. Many are emotionally vulnerable after losing their close ones, losing jobs, uncertain education or by staying indoors for months. Many get agitated wearing protective gear like masks or using sanitizers. The panic caused by the infection from physical proximity has reached such a level that everything now is shifted from physically going out to virtual conferences and many other significant shifts in people's behavior. But, in spite of all the trauma and negative affects the pandemic has put us through, there is some hope that the new focus on mental health issues may reduce stigma and increase availability of support services. Finally the paper recommends some way forward for effective mitigation against the harmful effects of limited or indoor physical activity on mental and physical health due to social distancing and quarantine based on the collected data.

Kastenbaum raised and examined the hypothesis that fear of death and fertility are directly related phenomena, concluding that procreation was one among several desirable forms of self-continuation. Re-examination of this hypothesis, using Templer's Manifest Death Anxiety Scale and a community sample (N=234) of reproductive and post-reproductive aged males and females, revealed that the hypothesis was confirmed among high school or less educated respondents. Within this subsample, confirmation was found among all females concerning their experienced, desired, and expected fertility. However, their male counterparts exhibited confirmation only with respect to desired and expected fertility, and only if they were within the reproductive age range.
