“…Furthermore, sleep of the same duration can be more or less restorative depending upon mood state and level of stress. The adverse effects of "lockdown" on mood and sleep were emphasized in numerous recent publications [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44]. It an not be excluded that stressful situations caused by "lockdown" resulted in a longer but less restorative sleep.…”

“…Many sleep scientists used sleep quality or similar constructs to document changes in sleep during the COVID-19 quarantines. Many studies across numerous countries reported a worsening of sleep quality, increasing sleep problems, or increasing problems with insomnia during quarantine conditions ( Blume et al, 2020 ; Peretti-Watel et al, 2020 ; Pinto et al, 2020 ; Voitsidis et al, 2020 ; AlRasheed et al, 2021 ; Cellini et al, 2021 ; Conte et al, 2021 ; Hisler and Twenge, 2021 ; Hyun et al, 2021 ; Marelli et al, 2021 ; Martínez-de-Quel et al, 2021 ; Robillard et al, 2021 ). However, some studies found that sleep quality did not worsen across all participants ( Benham, 2020 ; Gao and Scullin, 2020 ; Kocevska et al, 2020 ; Tahara et al, 2021 ).…”

Although researchers have investigated the impact of social isolation on well-being, the recent quarantines due to COVID-19 resulted in a social isolation environment that was unique to any examined in the past. Because sleep is one of the endogenous drives that impacts short and long-term health and well-being, it is important to consider how social isolation during the COVID-19 government-mandated quarantines affected sleep and sleep habits. A number of researchers have addressed this question during the last 2 years by examining several concepts related to possible changes in sleep during the quarantines. To best understand these recent results, the current mini review provides a background on the pre-pandemic literature on the effects of social isolation and loneliness with a focus on sleep and then summarizes the recent literature on sleep and sleep habits. In general, sleep was negatively impacted for many people during the pandemics but not all. One group that seemed to benefit from the pandemic in terms of sleep patterns, were younger people who could more easily adapt their sleep times to match their internal chronobiology. Given the potential broad impact of sleep on health and well-being, better understanding how social isolation impacts sleep is an important consideration for individuals, work organizations, and governments.

Purpose The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak combined with social distancing, isolation, and movement restrictions has had a profound impact on individuals’ physical and psychological well-being. The aim of this study was to examine the associations of depression and anxiety with feelings of stigma among patients in Saudi Arabia who have recovered from COVID-19. Materials and Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted between July and December 2020. Trained healthcare providers contacted and interviewed participants by phone. Depression, anxiety, and stigma were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) questionnaire, and the Explanatory Model Interview Catalogue stigma scale (EMIC). Data on sociodemographic characteristics, comorbidities, and family history of mental illness were also collected. Multiple linear regression models were performed to explore factors associated with depression and anxiety. Results A total of 174 adult participants (≥18 years old) who had recently recovered from COVID-19 were interviewed. The mean PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores were 7.53 (±5.04) and 3.77 (±4.47), respectively. About 68% of the participants had at least mild depression (PHQ-9 score of 5–9), whereas only 29.89% had at least mild anxiety (GAD-7 score of 5–9) during their infections with COVID-19. Multiple linear regression showed that females were more vulnerable to depression and anxiety disorders than their male counterparts were ( β =3.071 and β =1.86, respectively). Notably, participants’ stigma scores were significantly associated with higher scores on depression and anxiety. Conclusion These findings highlight the negative consequences of COVID-19 infection on the mental health of recovered patients. Therefore, considerable attention from local and international health authorities is needed to improve the mental well-being of recovered COVID-19 patients.
