“…In times of common stress, it is normal for individuals to feel more need to communicate with each other; social interaction diminishes stress partly through release of the neuropeptide oxytocin (Devries, Glasper, & Detillion, 2003). Social support further improves sleep quality (Kent De Grey, Uchino, Trettevik, Cronan, & Hogan, 2018), as also recently shown in medical staff treating patients with COVID-19 (Xiao, Zhang, Kong, Li, & Yang, 2020a). This may mean that there is in fact more social communication than usual, corroborated by reports of 40%-50% increases in usage of social media such as WhatsApp and Facebook (https://www.kantar.com: Covid-19 Barometer).…”

In the current global home confinement situation due to the COVID‐19 outbreak, most individuals are exposed to an unprecedented stressful situation of unknown duration. This may not only increase daytime stress, anxiety and depression levels, but also disrupt sleep. Importantly, because of the fundamental role that sleep plays in emotion regulation, sleep disturbance can have direct consequences upon next day emotional functioning. In this paper, we summarize what is known about the stress−sleep link and confinement as well as effective insomnia treatment. We discuss those effects of the current home confinement situation that can disrupt sleep but also those that could benefit sleep quality. We suggest adaptions of cognitive behavioural therapy elements that are feasible to implement for those facing changed work schedules and requirements, those with health anxiety and those handling childcare and home‐schooling, whilst also recognizing the general limitations imposed on physical exercise and social interaction. Managing sleep problems as best as possible during home confinement can limit stress and possibly prevent disruptions of social relationships.

“…A meta-analysis of patient adherence to medical treatment found that greater structural, functional, and quality measures of social connection were associated with better adherence, with the strongest effect for social support. 62 Greater social support has also been strongly associated with favorable sleep outcomes, 63 , 64 whereas loneliness has been associated with increased sleep fragmentation, poorer sleep quality and consequent metabolic, neural, and hormonal dysregulation. 1 , 4 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 A study examining the association of greater loneliness with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and migraine among 8,600 older adults found significant mediation effects attributable to behavioral variables such as poor sleep, physical inactivity, and daily smoking.…”

Highlights This article provides a comprehensive review of the recent National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine consensus committee report on Social Isolation and Loneliness (SI/L). The relevance specifically for mental health providers is emphasized. What is the primary question addressed by this study?What are the physical and mental health consequences of SI/L? What are the current evidence-based interventions for SI/L which can be implemented by mental health professionals? SI/L are significant public health problems and are clear risks for death, depression, anxiety, and cognitive disorders such as major cognitive impairment (dementia). The evidence based interventions by mental health professionals for SI/L are limited yet some have emerged which are promising. Health and mental healthcare professionals may be the first to identify socially isolated and lonely older adults as these older adults are at significant increased risk for serious adverse outcomes. For this reason, these professionals should know how to screen for and to initiate interventions that can be helpful.

“…Findings from several studies allude to supporting this notion. For instance, social support has been documented to yield favorable sleep outcomes ( Kent de Grey, Uchino, Trettevik, Cronan, & Hogan, 2018 ), such as lower levels of insomnia severity ( Kim & Suh, 2019 ). Further, social support has been evidenced to buffer the adverse impact of negative life events on wellbeing ( Nezlek & Allen, 2006 ) as well as perfectionism on depression and anxiety ( Zhou, Zhu, Zhang, & Cai, 2013 ).…”

Highlights Stressors from COVID-19 was positively related to onset of stress-consequences. Stressors from COVID-19 was positively related to engagement in rumination. Rumination mediated the link between stressors of COVID-19 and stress-consequences. Psychological support buffered the effect of COVID-19 stressors on rumination. Psychological support buffered the effect of rumination on stress-consequences.
