Among Black emerging adults, on days when device-based sleep duration was shorter and self-reported sleep quality was poorer than usual, stress was greater the following day. Stress experienced on a given day was not associated with any sleep metrics that night.

Overall, naps are associated with worse nighttime sleep in college students, though this is not true of all individuals.

Black breast cancer survivors reported on barriers to sleeping well, impacts of sleep disturbance, commonly used strategies to improve sleep, and on adapting interventions to improve sleep in this population.

Psychological stress was associated with sleep problems that in turn were associated with pain facilitation processes in Native Americans.

Breast cancer survivors and intimate partners who reported more fear of cancer recurrence had higher rates of daily sleep disturbance at two distinct times points in early survivorship.

In a daily life study using gold-standard sleep measures, young adults reported higher stress the day after a night of less sleep than usual or worse quality sleep than usual. Experiencing more stress than usual during the day did not predict sleep that night.

Avoidance of touching the face with unwashed hands increased following a planning and mental imagery intervention among US residents with low perceived risk of contracting COVID-19.

Adults who had more knowledge, positive behavioral attitudes, and better compliance with the norms, showed better practices of hand hygiene, facemask wearing, and physical distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The pandemic reduced physical activity levels. New data from insufficiently-active young adults' show that it also changed the dynamics of behavioral responses to micro-interventions promoting physical activity.
