TL;DR: The findings suggest that the changes in sleep patterns during the COVID‐19 pandemic are varied and that no unified change for the worse should be expected.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined associations among COVID-related stress, sleep quality, and mental health, and found that COVIDrelated stressors were associated with both anxiety and depression, and these associations were mediated by sleep disturbances.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors explored the relationship between physical activity (PA) levels, gut microbiota composition, and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) levels in older adults with insomnia.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored associations between SCFAs and sleep continuity and compared SCFA concentrations in short vs. normal sleep insomnia phenotypes in older adults and found that higher concentrations of acetate, butyrate, and propionate were associated with lower sleep efficiency and longer sleep onset latency.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the association between the nature of changes and psychological distress, in addition to the moderating effect of "COVID-related stressors" and concluded that people should carefully consider whether to make changes in their lifestyle habits before doing so, even if these changes are perceived as positive and health-enhancing.
