“…On the other hand, lack of sleep due to stress (0.073) and losing con dence (0.071) in oneself has positive coe cients which means that as the environmental quality gets worse, these two factors or variables also reduce. While it is understandable why sleep disturbances can be caused due to noise, research has found that excessive noise when sleeping-whether it comes from tra c or neighbors-can reduce the quality of one's sleep, increase disturbance which results in waking up more frequently during the night, and even trigger the release of stress hormones (Pacheco & Rehman, 2022).…”

The rapid urbanization and environmental degradation in Dhaka City, Bangladesh, have raised concerns about their potential impacts on residents' mental health. This study aims to explore the relationship between environmental quality in specific Dhaka City neighborhoods—Farmgate and Bashundhara Residential Area—and the mental health of its residents. Employing a quantitative methodology, we gathered data from 503 participants using online surveys, focusing on environmental factors such as noise, air, and water quality, alongside mental health indicators captured through the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) and Residential Environmental Assessment Tool (REAT 2.0). Statistical analyses, including simple linear regression and Pearson’s chi-square tests, revealed a significant association between poor environmental quality, especially noise pollution, and adverse mental health outcomes, including reduced concentration, sleep disturbances, decreased confidence, and diminished overall happiness. The study highlights the critical influence of urban environmental conditions on psychological well-being, underscoring the need for integrating mental health considerations in urban planning and policymaking. These findings contribute to the growing evidence on the environmental determinants of mental health and call for enhanced strategies to mitigate these impacts in urban settings.

Background Literature demonstrates that carceral settings prove detrimental to sleep among adult populations, yet aspects of juvenile prison that harm the sleep of youth remain understudied. We sought to understand whether and how safety impacts sleep in juvenile prisons in a Southeastern US state. We conducted an explanatory sequential mixed methods study. Survey data were collected from 78 youth in a male juvenile prison. Nineteen youth volunteered for follow-up qualitative interviews. About half of participants were White, and most were non-Latine and heterosexual. Results Findings illuminate the need for improved juvenile prison conditions and staff behavior, emphasizing the importance of promoting safer, more supportive environments. Indeed, the inextricable link between safety and environmental characteristics that contribute to feelings of safety (e.g., temperature, noise, lighting) were noted as essential to enhance sleep quality among incarcerated youth, and a vital component of their overall health and well-being. Nutrition and hunger were also regularly noted by participants. Conclusions Noteworthy advancements in physical and mental health among these youth are possible by targeting sleep and safety. By holistically supporting needs of incarcerated youth, their safety is more likely, fostering higher well-being and a more successful return to their communities.

Background: Previous evidence has demonstrated greater sleep to enhance sprint, endurance, and sports-specific skills, however, it is yet to be investigated whether improved sleep indices could enhance strength and power performance. Sleep hygiene (SH) is growing in popularity as a tool to enhance sleep indices amongst athletic cohorts, yet the optimal delivery strategy of sleep hygiene education is yet to be determined. Aims: The aims of this study were to investigate whether sleep hygiene interventions affect strength and power outcomes, with a secondary aim to assess whether there are any differences between individualised and group-based SH education on sleep indices in female athletes. Methods: Using a randomised, controlled design with repeated measures, 34 female footballers were split into 3 groups: one receiving both group-based and individualised sleep hygiene, one receiving only group-based SH and a control group receiving no education. Monitoring of sleep and physical performance was carried out at week 1, 4 and 7. Split-plot ANOVAs assessed for differences between groups x weeks, and groups x time. Results: Individualised sleep hygiene education resulted in significantly improved sleep duration (p =0.005), latency (p=0.006) and efficiency (p=0.004) at week 7 compared to controls, whilst also resulting in significantly improved countermovement jump scores (p=0.001) compared to control. Conclusions: Participants receiving group-based sleep hygiene education only, demonstrated significantly improved sleep efficiency compared to controls (p=0.032). Jump performance may be affected by sleep factors, and individualised SH may be superior to group-based SH. This provides information to coaches regarding training optimisation and the efficacy of SH education methods.
