ABC News reports that Ford plans to increase production on six of its cars in 2023 amid an auto industry rebound from sluggish 2022 sales.

On March 3, the automaker announced that half of those production increases are for Ford's electric vehicles.

.

Traditional models to see increased production include the Mustang Mach-E, Bronco Sport SUV and Maverick small pickup.

.

Electric models include the F-150 Lightning electric pickup and both the gas and electric versions of the Transit and E-Transit full-size vans.

Electric models include the F-150 Lightning electric pickup and both the gas and electric versions of the Transit and E-Transit full-size vans.

Last year, Ford announced that it would add a third shift and 1,100 jobs to its plant in Claycomo, Missouri, outside of Kansas City.

In Dearborn, Michigan, Ford added another 3,200 jobs related to manufacturing the F-150 Lightning.

.

According to spokesman Said Deep, Ford will also add an unspecified number of jobs to increase production of the Mach-E in Cuautitlan and Hermosillo, Mexico.

ABC reports that the auto industry has seen low sales for over two years, largely caused by a computer chip shortage amid the COVID pandemic.

As the chip shortage begins to ease, automakers like Ford are beginning to step up production and bolster supplies in dealer lots.

The industry is on its track back, Jeff Schuster, executive vice president of automotive for LMC and Global Data, via ABC

PsyPost reports that a new study by Phenikaa University in Vietnam has highlighted one of the more common and lingering symptoms of COVID-19: insomnia. 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. 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.
