"Optimizing Sleep for Refreshed Mornings"

According to the 2022 National Health Interview Survey, two-thirds of adults get at least 7 hours of sleep, with about one third sleeping less than the recommended amount. Only 15% of adults feel rested every day, and while more sleep typically leads to better rest, those who sleep 10 or more hours on average report feeling less rested. The survey highlights the importance of adequate sleep for feeling rested and the impact of sleep hours on overall well-being.

According to two new reports from the CDC, around 18 million Americans, or 6.9% of the population, have experienced long COVID, with one million of them being children.

Long COVID: Prevalence, Risks, and Impact on Adults and Children

Approximately 18 million US adults and 1 million children have experienced long COVID, according to two reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Long COVID refers to persistent symptoms lasting at least four weeks after clearing the infection, with some individuals experiencing symptoms for months or even years. Symptoms can vary and include fatigue, difficulty breathing, headaches, brain fog, joint and muscle pain, and loss of taste and smell. Women were more likely than men to have or currently have long COVID, and Hispanic adults had the highest percentage of reported cases. The Biden administration has established an Office of Long COVID Research and Practice to study the condition and provide support to those affected.

COVID-19 Leaves Millions with Long-Term Loss of Smell and Taste, Study Shows

A retrospective study by researchers at Massachusetts Eye and Ear found that about a quarter of Americans who had COVID-19 reported only partial or no recovery of taste or smell. The study utilized data from the 2021 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), which includes survey data from 29,696 adults. The research team reported that about 60 percent of surveyed participants infected with COVID experienced a loss of smell and about 58 percent experienced loss of taste. The study found that around 72 percent of patients fully recovered their sense of smell, but 24 percent only had a partial recovery and over 3 percent had no recovery of their sense of smell at all. Similarly, of those who experienced a loss of taste due to COVID, about 76 percent fully recovered the sense, while 20 percent only partially recovered and over 2 percent did not recover at all.

Chronic pain a significant burden for U.S. adults, NIH study shows.

A new study from the National Institutes of Health found that chronic pain is more prevalent among US adults than other common conditions such as diabetes, depression, and high blood pressure. The study also found that almost two-thirds of people who have chronic pain still suffer from it a year later. The incidence of new chronic pain cases was high, at 52.4 cases per 1,000 persons per year. The study highlights the need for increased use of multimodal, multidisciplinary interventions to change the course of pain and improve outcomes for people.
