“…One of the reason for this higher prevalence could be that many studies included frontline hospital staff who are actively involved in COV-ID-19 management, and significantly higher rate of insomnia was reported among them. Moreover, the relatively lower prevalence of sleep disorder in our study also can be due to difference in scales used across studies [9]. It has been found that studies using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scale found significantly higher rate insomnia among the study participants as the questions in the PSQI assess wide range of sleep-related issues [9].…”

“…The prevalence of insomnia in our study is significantly higher when compared to the prevalence of insomnia among active CO-VID-19 patients in the same setting. A recent study from our hospital regarding prevalence of insomnia among 136 COVID-19 patients found that 19.1% patients had insomnia according to ISI [9].…”

“…Emerging evidence suggest that patients with COVID-19 infection suffer from significant psychological problems during the active phase of the illness [8,9]. The neurotropic nature of the virus, the symptoms of the infection, absence of effective medicines, risk of complications and mortality, and the need for isolation, contributed to the higher incidence of new onset mental health problems among COVID-19 confirmed patients [10].…”

Objective: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) infection predisposes patients to various psychiatric disorders. Study results indicate significantly higher prevalence of insomnia among patients with COVID-19 during active phase. Acute insomnia during active phase of COVID-19 can persist even after recovery, and can transform into chronic insomnia. There are not many studies exploring insomnia among COVID-19 survi- vors. Our study aims to explore insomnia and its correlation among healthcare workers with confirmed infection of COVID-19 after recovery.Methods: One hundred and seven COVID-19 survivors participated in the study. The social demographic and clinical information of all par- ticipants was collected by a structured self report questionnaire. Insomnia was evaluated using the Insomnia Severity Index.Results: The prev- alence of insomnia was 21.5% among the healthcare workers with confirmed COVID-19 infection after recovery. There were significant posi- tive correlation between the duration of fever and insomnia severity (0.247, p=0.01).Conclusion: Our study among healthcare workers recovered from COVID-19 provides evidence for high prevalence of insomnia among COVID-19 survivors. The results of this study demands that specific support measures should be planned and implemented to address insomnia among healthcare workers recovered from COVID-19.

Objective: Coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly transmissible and pathogenic infection caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome, which resulted in a global pandemic and a significant loss of human life. The newer variants of concern are evolving even with the broadening vaccine immunity. Much of the clinical course remains uncertain especially the possible long-term health consequences. It is observed that there is an inter-individual variability in the occurrence of these post-COVID symptoms. Methods: A prospective observational survey was conducted to demonstrate the post-COVID-19 manifestations and to identify if there is any association of these manifestations with the disease severity and presence of comorbidities. Results: About 85% of our study subjects reported post-COVID manifestations of varying degrees. Fatigue was the most common post-COVID manifestation reporting to 56.36%. This was followed by body ache (43.3%) and myalgia (36.81%). The least observed manifestations were myocarditis (1.81%), heart attack (1.36%), and vomiting (1.36%). Conclusion: An association between the severity of COVID disease and comorbidities was identified. The surface plot graph signified the existence of a positive association between the post-COVID manifestations with the severity of disease and the presence of comorbidities. The functional outcomes of the subjects after recovery were assessed using a post-COVID functional status scale.

Since the first outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in December 2019, we have experienced many changes that we have never ex- perienced before. Governments around the world have instituted various forms of social isolation measures to prevent the spread of COV- ID-19. These measures include social distancing, home confinement, quarantine, and lockdown. Unfortunately, these measures have in- creased the ambiguity of the economic situation and the uncertainty regarding the future. For many individuals, these actions resulted in changes in routines at home, school, and work; changes in roles at home, mental health, and physical activity; and changes in circadian cues. All of these alterations resulted in disruptions in sleep patterns and sleep difficulties. In this paper, the alterations in sleep patterns and the sleep difficulties related to social isolation policies would be reviewed. These include social distancing and home confinement. Finally, meth- ods to improve sleep problems also reviewed.
