New European research has revealed that many of us were sleeping for longer during the COVID-19 lockdowns, however on the downside, the quality of our sleep was worse.
Carried out by researchers at the University of Basel and the Psychiatric Hospital of the University of Basel, the new study surveyed 435 adults in Austria, Germany and Switzerland about their sleep rhythms and sleep behavior during the phase with the strictest COVID-19 restrictions, which was a six-week period between mid-March until the end of April.
The team explains that research has suggested that many sleep disorders are due to a busy modern lifestyle, with work and social commitments setting a sleep cycle that is often not in line with the body’s own internal biological clock. In addition, as we sometimes have a different sleep schedule on weekends, this can lead to what is called “social jetlag,” a difference in sleep timing and duration between work days and days off.
