In Search of Peace
[...]a cousin from Michigan has brought his family down several times because for them it is an exotic out-of-state vacation, and being able to offer friends and family a place to relax has been incredibly satisfying. (Recommended reading: \"What Did They Think Would Happen?\" by Sarah Longwell, publisher of The Bulwark, an online publication by \"Never Trump\" conservatives.) The proximate cause of the current demonstrations (constitutionally protected behavior) and riots (criminal behavior) was the horrific homicide committed by a white Minneapolis police officer who kept his knee on the neck of an unarmed black man for nearly nine minutes. NBC News reported last week that Minneapolis police officers used their arms or legs as neck restraints 237 times since 2015, and rendered the subject unconscious in 44 of those cases.

0326 Daily Sleep and Affect in Adolescents: Differential Associations During Constrained Versus Unconstrained Sleep
Abstract
Introduction
Few studies have examined bi-directional associations between daily sleep and affect in adolescents, and even fewer assessed both high and low arousal affect under naturalistically-occurring constrained (school) and unconstrained (vacation) sleep opportunities.
Methods
205 adolescents (54.1% females, age M±SD=16.9±0.87 years) completed daily measures of sleep and affect over 28 continuous days (2-week school and 2-week vacation). Total sleep time (TST) and sleep efficiency (SE) were measured using actigraphy and sleep diary. High- and low-arousal positive and negative affect (PA, NA) were self-reported each afternoon. Cross-lagged, multilevel models were conducted: affect predicted same-night sleep controlling for previous-night sleep; sleep predicted next-day affect controlling for previous-day affect. Day of week, study day, and sociodemographics were controlled.
Results
During both school and vacation, adolescents with overall higher low-arousal PA also had greater self-reported SE. Other aspects of sleep-affect associations differ between school and vacation (all p<.05). During school, significant associations were between, not within individuals. Bi-directional associations were found between longer actigraphy-TST and greater high-arousal PA, and between higher self-reported SE and lower low-arousal NA. High-arousal PA and NA were associated with self-reported TST (positive and negative respectively). During vacation, between-individuals, higher NA was bi-directionally associated with lower self-reported SE, regardless of arousal. Longer self-reported TST was associated with lower low-arousal NA. On the within-person level, regardless of sleep measurement, nights with longer-than-average TST were associated with lower NA the next day (high- and low- arousal). Nights with higher-than-average SE predicted lower next-day low-arousal NA.
Conclusion
Sleep-affect associations differed based on sleep opportunity and arousal, suggesting potentially different mechanisms of action. When sleep is typically constrained, overall levels of sleep-affect associations were stronger than daily fluctuations. When sleep is typically unconstrained, significant associations were found both between- and within- persons. In particular, daily fluctuations in sleep were predictive of next-day NA, rather than the other direction.

Book
Club Red
The Bolsheviks took power in Russia 1917 armed with an ideology centered on the power of the worker. From the beginning, however, Soviet leaders also realized the need for rest and leisure within the new proletarian society and over subsequent decades struggled to reconcile the concept of leisure with the doctrine of communism, addressing such fundamental concerns as what the purpose of leisure should be in a workers' state and how socialist vacations should differ from those enjoyed by the capitalist bourgeoisie.
InClub Red, Diane P. Koenker offers a sweeping and insightful history of Soviet vacationing and tourism from the Revolution through perestroika. She shows that from the outset, the regime insisted that the value of tourism and vacation time was strictly utilitarian. Throughout the 1920s and '30s, the emphasis was on providing the workers access to the \"repair shops\" of the nation's sanatoria or to the invigorating journeys by foot, bicycle, skis, or horseback that were the stuff of \"proletarian tourism.\" Both the sedentary vacation and tourism were part of the regime's effort to transform the poor and often illiterate citizenry into new Soviet men and women.
Koenker emphasizes a distinctive blend of purpose and pleasure in Soviet vacation policy and practice and explores a fundamental paradox: a state committed to the idea of the collective found itself promoting a vacation policy that increasingly encouraged and then had to respond to individual autonomy and selfhood. The history of Soviet tourism and vacations tells a story of freely chosen mobility that was enabled and subsidized by the state. While Koenker focuses primarily on Soviet domestic vacation travel, she also notes the decisive impact of travel abroad (mostly to other socialist countries), which shaped new worldviews, created new consumer desires, and transformed Soviet vacation practices.
