Sleep’s vital role in maintaining good health and bodily functions has raised concerns about a possible sleep deprivation epidemic. However, evidence supporting this idea, primarily based on answers to questions like: on average, how many hours of sleep do you get in a 24-hr period?’, have been shown to lack reliability. Time use diaries offer the best option to study sleep changes in the absence of nationally representative samples of objective measures. This chapter contributes to the literature by utilizing a larger sample of time use diaries than any previous study, including some Asian samples that had never been used before for this purpose. The analysis reveals no evidence supporting a sleep deprivation epidemic; in fact, sleep appears to have improved in the majority of countries analysed.

“…While this type of data has been gathered for the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of time-use research, the temporal resolution of these studies is not dense enough for our purposes. For example, the UK study 28 involved the results of only five surveys during the pandemic times, which is very low number considering that we would like to have quarterly or even monthly data for our purposes.…”

A global disaster, as the recent Covid-19 pandemic, affects every aspect of our lives and there is need to investigate these highly complex phenomena if one aims to diminish their impact in the health of population, as well as their socio-economic stability. In this paper we present an attempt to understand the role of the governmental authorities and the response of the rest of the population facing such emergencies. We present a mathematical model that takes into account the epidemiological features of the pandemic and also the actions of people responding to it, focusing only on three aspects of the system, namely, the fear of catching this serious disease, the impact on the economic activities and the compliance of the people to the mitigating measures adopted by the authorities. We apply the model to the specific case of Spain, since there are accurate data available about these three features. We focused on tourism as an example of the economic activity, since this sector of economy is one of the most likely to be affected by the restrictions imposed by the authorities, and because it represents an important part of the Spanish economy. The results of numerical calculations agree with the empirical data in such a way that we can acquire a better insight of the different processes at play in such a complex situation, and also in other different circumstances.
