Emotion reactivity refers to the activation, intensity and duration of emotional responses to internal or external stimuli. It can be differentiated from emotion regulation since the former is the very first response to an emotional trigger, and the latter can be defined as a tool for maintaining one's arousal in a window of tolerance. Since, to date, there are no Italian self-report measures able to evaluate individuals' emotional reactivity, this study aimed to contribute to the Italian validation of the Perth Emotional Reactivity Scale-Short Form (PERS-S).

Participants And Methods: We examined its factor structure, assessed internal consistency and criterion validity, and established test-retest reliability on 768 Italian native speakers (65.8% of women) with a mean age of 25.
Background: Millions of COVID-19 survivors experience a wide range of long-term symptoms after acute infection, giving rise to serious public health concerns. To date, few risk factors for post-COVID-19 conditions have been determined. This study evaluated the role of pre-infection sleep quality/duration and insomnia severity in the incidence of long-term symptoms after COVID-19.

- Recent research shows that transcranial electrical stimulation can change levels of sleepiness and alertness, but results vary based on the type of measure used (physiological, behavioral, or subjective).
- In a study with 23 partially sleep-deprived participants, bifrontal anodal transcranial direct current stimulation was tested against a sham control to see its effects on sleepiness and vigilance.
- The active stimulation successfully reduced physiological sleepiness and maintained vigilance compared to the sham, although subjective measures of sleepiness weren't significantly impacted, possibly due to a small sample size and external factors.
Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted sleep and mental health worldwide, especially during the lockdowns in Italy from 2020 to 2022.
- A study involving 1062 participants assessed changes in sleep quality, insomnia, and mental health across different demographics throughout this period, showing gradual improvements in disturbances but a decrease in overall sleep duration.
- While stress levels initially increased during the second lockdown, by April 2022, some positive trends emerged; however, ongoing monitoring is necessary to fully understand the long-term effects on sleep and mental health post-pandemic.
