Hypnos

The lockdown measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have caused unprecedented changes in human behavior worldwide. Sleep is a physiological process that highly depends on environmental and social cues and varies substantially with levels of stress.

“Coronasomnia” is a new term coined to refer to sleep challenges related to the pandemic. Over the past two years, doctors and sleep scientists have documented a wide range of ways that COVID-19 has changed and disrupted sleep patterns. Around 40% of people have experienced sleeping problems, and studies have detected notable increases in insomnia symptoms in adults and children and adolescents.
