“…7 Findings regarding sleep duration and sleep quality are mixed during the COVID-19 pandemic. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Most studies examining differences in sleep quality have shown poor sleep quality during the pandemic. [12][13][14][15][16] Studies in different parts of the world showed that sleep quality has been poorer during lockdown period relative to the pre-lockdown period.…”

“…[12][13][14][15][16] Studies in different parts of the world showed that sleep quality has been poorer during lockdown period relative to the pre-lockdown period. 7,[10][11][12]14 When compared to pre-lockdown period, there has been a shift to a later bedtime and waking time, with a reduction in nighttime sleep and an increase in daytime napping during lockdown period. Also, there is evidence of greater sleep latency and poorer sleep efficiency during the pandemic.…”

Background Good sleep quality is associated with a diverse range of positive outcomes such as better health, less daytime sleepiness, well-being and proper psychological functioning. Sleep deprivation or poor sleep quality leads to many metabolic, endocrine, and immune changes. Many studies have shown changes in sleep schedule along with worsening of sleep quality during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted among students of a medical college in Kathmandu, Nepal from January 13, 2021 to February 15, 2021. A stratified random sampling technique was used. Data were collected using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Questionnaires that were completely filled were included and analyzed using STATA vs. 15. Results 168(n=190) medical students filled out the questionnaires with a response rate of 88.42%. Around 30% (n=51) of respondents had poor sleep quality (PSQI total score of > 5) with an average PSQI score of 4.24±2.19. Unadjusted logistic regression analysis showed significantly higher odds of poor sleep quality among females (OR, 2.25; CI, 1.14-4.43) compared with male and the relation persists even after adjusting with age and year in medical school (aOR, 2.81; CI, 1.35-5.86). Adjusting with age and gender, 4 th-year MBBS students had 82% lesser odds of having poor sleep quality compared to 2 nd-year MBBS students (aOR, 0.18; CI, 0.04-0.76). Our study is suggestive of poor sleep quality common among medical students. Conclusions More than a quarter of medical students have a poor sleep quality as per our study. So, education and awareness should be raised among medical students regarding the detrimental effects of poor quality sleep on daily activities, physical and mental well-being, and the overall quality of life.

“…The role of sleep in mental health has come to the fore during the ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic given the clear evidence that fear and anxiety disrupt sleep. One of the larger studies so far examined associations between COVID‐related stress, sleep quality, and mental health among 2,541 community adults, 1,969 from Israel and 572 in the USA (Coiro et al, 2021). The authors report high levels of depression and anxiety symptoms with declining sleep quality, clearly linked to COVID‐related stressors.…”

The study was done with the aim of understanding the “Effect of Sleep Quality on Mental Health of Adults during COVID-19 Lockdown”. 136 adults aged between 18 to 32 years were selected through snowball sampling from social media platforms for being a part of the study sample. The Sleep Condition Indicator (Espie, 2014) and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) (Goldberg and Williams, 1988) were used to measure their sleep quality and mental health. It was hypothesized that the sleep quality will have a significant effect on the mental health of adults. It was found out that sleep quality is a significant predictor of mental health. The researcher stated that clinicians and psychologists should investigate about the sleeping patterns and quality of sleep in patients reporting mental health issues, and screen sleeping disorders regularly in population to avoid development of mental health disorders.
