- An analysis in BMJ Journals of 25 trials with more than 2,000 participants found resistance training improves sleep quality and duration more than aerobic or combined exercise.
- Mexico’s Betterfly Health Survey reports 71% of workers rate their sleep as poor, with specialists linking problems to psychosocial risks such as excessive workloads, unclear rules and out‑of‑hours messaging.
- Researchers and clinicians warn that inadequate sleep impairs concentration and mood, raises chronic stress, and reduces productivity while increasing absenteeism and accident risk.
- Guidance highlights predictable pre‑sleep routines and brief written gratitude as low‑cost ways to lower nighttime arousal, alongside practical steps on light, caffeine, meals and short naps.
- Clinicians advise reserving medication for severe or refractory insomnia after behavioral measures fail, even as Argentina reports a 7% rise in sleep‑aid use year over year.
