Managing attachment insecurity and maintaining good sleep hygiene may improve emotional well-being and social interactions.
A study presented at SLEEP 2025 shows that poor sleep quality increases jealousy in individuals with high relationship anxiety, particularly those with anxious attachment styles, highlighting the importance of personalized approaches to sleep and emotional health.
A study attempting to establish a non-invasive method for measuring brown adipose tissue (BAT) activity and its link to social behaviors yielded inconclusive results. The use of infrared thermography to measure BAT activity proved unreliable, contradicting previous smaller-scale studies. The study highlights the complexity of linking BAT activity with human social behaviors and attachment styles, emphasizing the need for alternative methods to explore this relationship further.
A study published in the International Journal of Eating Disorders explores the existing literature suggesting that people with eating disorders tend to have high levels of insecure attachment styles. Anxious and avoidant attachment styles are two patterns of insecure behavior and emotional responses that individuals may develop in close relationships. These styles reflect different strategies people adopt to navigate emotional intimacy and seek security in relationships. The new study sought to better understand the relationship between attachment and eating disorders by conducting an updated meta-analysis and including potential moderators. The findings have important clinical implications, and attachment may be a worthwhile treatment target.
