Previous studies identified the effects of daytime activity, sleep quality and ambient light exposure on individual well-being. These factors have been greatly changed as people are required to stay home during the COVID-19 pandemic; thus, it is necessary to verify whether these factors effect well-being during the pandemic. We recruited 70 adults (females: 46; age range: 31-60) during a high incidence of COVID-19 in China (17-27 February 2020). Both subjective measurements based on self-report scales and objective measurements collected using wrist actigraphy were employed to investigate the effects of night-time sleep and daytime activity on subjective well-being. The actigraphy data show that participants' total sleep time (>8 hr) is sufficient. Self-reported sleep quality was significantly worse than pre-pandemic, and self-reported daytime activity levels significantly decreased during the pandemic. Physical activity was positively related to well-being, both for self-reported daytime activity (r = .346, p = .003) and for objective measurements (r = .234, p = .051). Our study found that sleep and daytime activity levels were negatively affected by the pandemic. However, increased daytime physical activity could potentially reduce these negative effects.
先前的研究确定了日间活动、睡眠质量和周围光照暴露对个体幸福感的影响。由于人们在 COVID-19 大流行期间被要求待在家中，这些因素发生了巨大变化；因此，有必要验证这些因素在大流行期间是否会影响幸福感。我们在中国 COVID-19 高发期间（2020 年 2 月 17 日至 27 日）招募了 70 名成年人（女性：46 名；年龄范围：31-60 岁）。使用腕部活动记录仪收集的主观测量和客观测量都用于调查夜间睡眠和日间活动对主观幸福感的影响。活动记录仪数据显示，参与者的总睡眠时间（>8 小时）充足。自我报告的睡眠质量明显差于大流行前，并且自我报告的日间活动水平在大流行期间显著下降。身体活动与幸福感呈正相关，无论是自我报告的日间活动（r=.346，p=.003）还是客观测量（r=.234，p=.051）。我们的研究发现，睡眠和日间活动水平受到大流行的负面影响。然而，增加白天的身体活动可能会减轻这些负面影响。
