In the effort to limit the transmission of COVID-19, countries around the world have instigated extended periods of restricted movement that has significantly impacted work, leisure, and social interaction. An indirect outcome of these restrictions is increased loneliness and social isolation. Here, data from an online survey carried out in the latter part 2020/early 2021, demonstrated that evening-type is associated with increased odds of reporting self-perceived loneliness, but with no evidence for a similar association in neither-types. What future working and leisure patterns (the 'new normal') will look like is unclear. Nevertheless, the current data suggest eveningness should be a consideration in any interventions designed to reduce the impact of loneliness on physical and mental health.
在努力限制 COVID-19 传播的过程中，世界各地的国家都实施了长时间的限制出行措施，这对工作、休闲和社交互动都产生了重大影响。这些限制的间接后果是孤独感和社会隔离感增加。在这里，我们从 2020 年末至 2021 年初进行的一项在线调查中获得的数据表明，晚睡型与报告自我感知孤独的几率增加有关，但在非晚睡型中没有类似的关联。未来的工作和休闲模式（“新常态”）将是什么样子尚不清楚。然而，目前的数据表明，在任何旨在减轻孤独感对身心健康影响的干预措施中，都应该考虑到晚睡型。
