Sleep can significantly modulate the immune response to infectious agents. In the current study, changes in sleep quality during COVID-19-induced confinement among adults were investigated. This was a cross-sectional survey study of the public using social media. Participants (n = 1846) were recruited in the study, of which >92% reported a variety of confinement procedures such as self-quarantine, physical distancing, banning of public events, school closure, and lockdown. Majority of the participants (53-59%) reported an increase in most of the sleep parameters except a decrease (49.1%) in daytime sleep. Age was associated with changes in sleeping disturbances during COVID-19 confinement ( < 0.001). Young participants were more likely to experience sleeping disturbance than older ones ( < 0.05). In addition, gender ( < 0.001) is an independent predictor of nighttime sleeping. Being a male is associated with a "decrease" and being a female is associated with an "increase" in nighttime sleeping hours ( < 0.05). Moreover, change in daytime sleeping was related to age, gender, and job type ( < 0.05). In conclusion, changes in sleep quality during COVID-19-induced confinement were reported. Intervention programs and strategies are warranted to further improve sleep during the current and future disease-induced confinement.
睡眠可显著调节对传染原的免疫反应。在本研究中，调查了成年人在新冠疫情导致的隔离期间睡眠质量的变化。这是一项利用社交媒体对公众进行的横断面调查研究。该研究招募了1846名参与者，其中超过92%的人报告了各种隔离措施，如自我隔离、保持社交距离、禁止公共活动、学校关闭和封锁。大多数参与者（53 - 59%）报告除白天睡眠时间减少（49.1%）外，大多数睡眠参数有所增加。年龄与新冠疫情隔离期间睡眠障碍的变化相关（<0.001）。年轻参与者比年长参与者更易出现睡眠障碍（<0.05）。此外，性别（<0.001）是夜间睡眠的独立预测因素。男性与夜间睡眠时间“减少”相关，女性与夜间睡眠时间“增加”相关（<0.05）。而且，白天睡眠时间的变化与年龄、性别和工作类型有关（<0.05）。总之，报告了新冠疫情导致的隔离期间睡眠质量的变化。有必要制定干预计划和策略，以在当前及未来疾病导致的隔离期间进一步改善睡眠。
