Lockdown as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic created a unique opportunity to research human sleep-wake behavior in naturalistic conditions of decreased social obligations. This study aimed to test whether a change in habitual sleep-wake timing (shift in chronotype) during the COVID-19 lockdown impacted mood and well-being, and whether the impact differs according to morningness-eveningness preference. University students (N = 1011; Meanage = 21.95 ± 1.95 years) filled out self-report questionnaires containing measures of chronotype (midpoint of sleep) before and during the COVID-19 lockdown, morningness-eveningness preference, mood, and well-being. The impact of morningness-eveningness preference and shift in chronotype was tested via multiple regression analyses. Results showed that participants shifted their chronotype in line with their morningness-eveningness preference, and that shift toward earlier sleep-wake timing was related to better moods and well-being. Moreover, higher levels of positive mood (vigor) and well-being were found in individuals who shifted their sleep-wake timing earlier and were higher on morningness.

Toward this end, mental health of 180 (tribal student) respondents was measured by administering General Health Questionnaire (Goldberg, 1972). Mental health status of 180 general (non-tribal) students was also measured as a control group for the comparison. The result revealed that the mental health of the tribal students was significantly (P 0.01).

To reach at the end of the investigation of the study psychological well-being of 370 participants (students engaged in extracurricular activities=185, general students=185) was measured by administering MUNSH scale. The result of the study indicated that the duration of involvement is the best predictor for psychological well-being. The result also revealed that there is no significant difference in psychological well-being among the students of different extracurricular activities groups.

M/E differs between men and women throughout their lifespan. However, there is a lack of information on sex differences in the relationship between M/E, mood, and well-being. This study aimed to test sex differences in the M/E, mood, and well-being relationship with consideration of two components of M/E, morning affect, and morning preference. A sample of 981 Bangladeshi university students (607 men) aged 18 to 27 (M = 21.95) completed Bangla versions of the Composite Scale of Morningness (CSM), BRUnel Mood Scale (BRUMS), and Positive Mental Health scale (PMH-scale) through an online survey. Multiple regression analyses were used to test the relationship of M/E components with mood and well-being. The results showed that the relationship between M/E, mood, and well-being was greater in women than in men. A lower score on both M/E components was related to higher negative moods (anger, confusion, depression, fatigue, and tension) and poor well-being. In regression analysis, only morning affect was found to be significant, which means that morning affect mainly contributes to the relation between M/E, mood, and well-being. Finally, sex by morning affect interaction indicated that the relation was higher for women. Therefore, higher eveningness could be more hazardous for women than men. Greater insight into the independent contribution of morning affect may facilitate understanding of the chronotype effects on psychological outcomes in men and women.

Almost all of the countries of the world are facing this challenge. The uncertainty of the COVID-19 has affected both the people’s physical and mental health. The present study was conducted to explore the level of fear of COVID-19 among the people of Bangladesh and West Bengal, India. Materials and Methods: Through an online survey, following Purposive Random Sampling Technique, 920 respondents (566 from Bangladesh and 354 from West Bengal, India) participated in this study. Among them 444 were male and 476 were female. The age range of the respondents was 18-60 and above. The Fear of COVID-19 Scale developed by Ahorsu et al 8 along with the Bengali translation was used to assess the fear of COVID-19 among the participants. Results: The level of fear was significantly higher (p<.001) among the people of Bangladesh than that of West Bengal, India. Again the female had showed higher (p<.001) level of fear than the male. Conclusion: As ...

Conclusion: As it is suggested that the reason behind the higher level of fear of Bangladeshi people is due to the lack of proper health services, the government should ensure the adequate medical facilities so that people can trust on it and feel secure in case of future uncertain and unavoidable health crisis like COVID-19 pandemic. The results also points to a necessity of adequate policy building on the part of the government to successfully insulate the community from the myriad mental health issues like anxiety, fear and the like, and make provisions for proper counselling of the mass in the face of existential threats of such global proportions.
