‘Sleep duration is increased during COVID-19 pandemic period.’
The findings of the study show mean sleep duration increased in nearly all groups with shifted sleeping time by 5 to 11 minutes but the sleep variability decreased largely due to fewer differences between weekday and weekend sleep. The degree of change in sleep correlates with the degree of improvement in resting heart rate. This study is another interesting finding from the data extracted from six major U.S. cities hard-hit by the pandemic.
"The results provide perhaps the largest study of objective sleep recordings from a geographically diverse general population sample during the height of the pandemic”, said Grandner, who has a doctorate in clinical psychology and is the director of the sleep and health research program at the University of Arizona College of Medicine.
COVID-19 Affected Sleep Quality by Increasing Screen Time
Strategies like lockdowns have been adapted to curb COVID infection. However, these lockdowns affected the sleep quality of humans by increasing the screen time among public, says a study.
