The time at home from the coronavirus crisis could be an opportunity to let our natural sleep rhythms take over, says a sleep psychologist.
This reversible state of disengagement with the world is one of the most important protective and restorative factors in human life. Slumber is essential for thinking clearly and staying upbeat during any time.
Unfortunately, it is exactly during times of social uncertainty and anxiety, when we need sleep the most, that it is most disrupted. The psychological toll is not too far away, but it will register most forcefully after the infection rates start to decline. Once the pandemic peaks and the physical damage to bodies start to wane, only then will the full consequences of this pandemic on our well-being be apparent.
