"Post-COVID Insomnia: Lingering Effects on Sleep"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by University of Minnesota Twin Cities
A survey of Vietnamese adults who had mild COVID-19 infections in the past 6 months found that 76% now experience insomnia, with 22.8% reporting severe insomnia. The study revealed that even those with asymptomatic COVID-19 infections reported subsequent insomnia, and there was no correlation between initial COVID symptom severity and insomnia. Participants with increased depressive or anxiety symptoms following COVID-19 were most at risk for insomnia, and the study suggests a need for comprehensive interventions to address the psychological and sleep health of COVID-19 patients after recovery.
