When lockdown was announced in the United Kingdom, kitchen tables transformed into offices overnight, as many National Health Service (NHS) workers adapted to new ways of working from home. To respond to the developing situation, we established a programme of weekly 'Connections' meetings where staff could be together, remotely. This article describes the evolution of our Morning Connections and Oncology Connections virtual meetings, including the content of sessions, how they were evaluated and whether they met their intention to support colleagues during a particularly challenging time, both personally and professionally, for NHS staff.

While research shows a connection between sleep and pain, few studies have examined bidirectional links between sleep and pain at the daily level-or the extent to which alcohol use may moderate these associations.
Methods: Heavy-drinking veterans seeking treatment for insomnia ( = 109, 82.

An endogenous time-keeping system found in all kingdoms of life, the endogenous circadian clock, is the source of the essential cyclic change mechanism known as the circadian rhythm. The primary circadian clock that synchronizes peripheral circadian clocks to the proper phase is housed in the anterior hypothalamus's suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN), which functions as a central pacemaker. According to many epidemiological studies, many cancer types, especially brain tumors, have shown evidence of dysregulated clock gene expression, and the connection between clock and brain tumors is highly specific.
