On October 3, oil prices skyrocketed to $3 a barrel
as OPEC+ announced a potential reduction of
output by over one million barrels per day (bpd).
Al Jazeera reports that the OPEC+ said the move would be meant to buttress prices with the biggest cut since the beginning of the COVID pandemic.
Reuters reported that sources within the Organization
of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC+) say the
massive cut could be decided upon in an October 5 meeting.
Another source reportedly said that figure
excludes additional voluntary cuts
made by individual OPEC members.
Dennis Kissler, senior vice president of trading
at BOK Financial, said most traders were
expecting a cut of about 50,000 bpd.
Last month, the group reduced
output by 100,000 bpd.

After a year of tolerating extremely

tight markets, the [OPEC+] alliance
seemingly has no hesitation when it comes
to acting rapidly to support prices amid
a deterioration in the economic outlook, Craig Erlam, Oanda market analyst, via Al Jazeera.

Those sources cited sanctions on some OPEC+
members and low investment by others as
causes for the group's inability to raise output.

As a sleep researcher, I received
many questions and complaints
from relatives, friends, and colleagues
about their sleep disturbances
after recovering from Covid-19, Dr Huong T. X. Hoang, Lead author of the article
published in 'Frontiers in Public Health,' via PsyPost.
I found that the majority of papers
focused on hospitalized patients.
The environment of their treatment
and quarantine would differ greatly
from those with milder symptoms, Dr Huong T. X. Hoang, Lead author of the article
published in 'Frontiers in Public Health,' via PsyPost.
Patients were asked to compare the quality and length
of their sleep, as well as how easy it was for them to
fall asleep, before and after they contracted COVID.

Of the 1,056 people surveyed, over 76.1% of
participants said they experienced insomnia.
22.8% of those surveyed reported
experiencing severe insomnia.
The study found that two groups experienced
a statistically significant increased rate of insomnia,
including those with depressive or anxious symptoms.
The authors of the study note that further
investigation of the connection between COVID,
mental health problems and insomnia is needed.
Since this is a cross-sectional
study, the relationship of anxiety
and depression with insomnia
cannot be fully investigated, Dr Huong T. X. Hoang, Lead author of the article
published in 'Frontiers in Public Health,' via PsyPost.
In addition, collecting data
online and a convenience
sampling method can cause
recall bias and selection bias. , Dr Huong T. X. Hoang, Lead author of the article
