“…Extreme weather events, change in precipitation, floods, droughts, and wildfires may all disrupt sleep because of augmented stress levels, food insecurity, displacement from home, rising water-borne infections, and increased sleep-related breathing disorders [48] . Studies performed after hurricanes in the United States [49] , [50] , [51] , after floods in Australia [52] and China [53] , and after wildfires in Greece [54] have highlighted a high prevalence of sleep disturbances, often comorbid with mood and post-traumatic stress disorders.
