Summary: Using 38 years of daily stock returns, this study extends the mood seasonality hypothesis and examines whether seasonal anomalies are more pronounced in stocks with lottery-like features preferred by individual investors. The results indicate a significant association between the strength of various stock return seasonality patterns and the lottery-likeness of stocks. Positive January and pre-holiday performance, as well as negative Monday performance, are enhanced in stocks that exhibit more lottery-like characteristics. Additional analysis for different prosperity period supports Prospect Theory, suggesting that investor mood seasonality and risk tolerance are expressed through speculative investments.

Summary: The aim of this study was to identify wrist actimetry-based indices associated with the sleep-wake rhythm characteristics of healthy individuals. The study found significant associations between chronotype and the mid-phase of the most active 10-hour period, the mid-phase of the least active 5-hour period, and the interdaily stability. Sleep duration was also significantly associated with these indices. In addition, social jetlag, sleep quality, and sleep efficiency were found to have significant associations with motor activity in bed and the acrophase. Nonparametric indices of the 24-hour rest-activity rhythm are useful tools for assessing the sleep-wake rhythm of healthy individuals.

Summary: An early school start time negatively impacts students' sleep, well-being, and academic performance, but its effect on eating disorders is not well understood. Students with a school start time of 9:00 in Russia tend to wake up later, sleep more, experience less social jetlag and sleep loss, and have higher academic performance compared to those starting school at 8:00. Additionally, the frequency of food addiction is found to be lower in students with a later school start time.

Summary: A comparative analysis was conducted on vascular stiffness indices and blood test results in 85 healthy donors aged 19-64 years, who were carriers of polymorphic variants of type 1 and type 2 melatonin receptor genes. The study investigated the associations of polymorphic markers of MTNR1A and MTNR1B genes with vascular stiffness parameters and blood parameters in healthy patients. Genotyping was performed using allele-specific PCR and 24-h BP monitoring was conducted to assess arterial stiffness. The major alleles of the MTNR1A and MTNR1B genes were found to be associated with elevated lipid levels and individual differences in vascular wall elasticity.

Summary: This study compared the anthropometric and sleep-wake rhythm characteristics between schoolchildren who attend school in the morning and afternoon shifts. The results showed that the incidence of overweight and obesity was higher among students in the afternoon shift, particularly among girls and adolescents under 15 years old with an early and intermediate chronotype. Therefore, attending school in the afternoon is not ideal for female children and adolescents with an early or intermediate chronotype.

Summary: Stroke remains a major global cause of death and disability, despite advancements in technology and pharmacotherapy. Recent data have shown the significant role of the circadian system in stroke vulnerability, development, and recovery. On the other hand, stroke itself can disrupt the circadian system through direct injury to specific brain structures involved in circadian regulation and by impairing endogenous regulatory mechanisms, leading to metabolic derangement and neurogenic inflammation. Various factors associated with hospitalization, such as light, noise, medication, and loss of external cues, can further disrupt circadian rhythms. Restoring disrupted circadian patterns can be achieved through pharmacological and non-medication interventions, but their effects on stroke recovery are not well understood.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between social jetlag (SJL) and eating timing, diet, and sleep phases. The findings showed that SJL was associated with eating jetlag, eating phase delays, increased calorie intake after 9 p.m., decreased dietary fiber intake for breakfast, and melatonin-containing product consumption for dinner. People with SJL experienced reduced total and light sleep duration on work/school days, while increased total and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep duration on weekends. Those consuming foods with more melatonin for dinner had decreased SJL and increased total and deep sleep duration.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between chronotype, sleep characteristics, work experience, and health factors among Arctic Sojourn Workers. The findings reveal that the workers have earlier mid sleep on free days compared to age-matched residents. Additionally, work experience is associated with compromised lipid metabolism in men. Poor proxies of metabolic health are also related to unfavorable components of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index in the workers. Furthermore, higher outdoor light exposure on free days is linked to lower blood pressure.
