This study was conducted to determine (1) whether the distribution of undergraduates who endorse insomnia or behaviorally induced insufficient sleep syndrome (BIISS) varied during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic relative to normal sleepers and in comparison to values reported pre-pandemic and (2) whether group (insomnia, BIISS, and normal sleepers) was differentially associated with health, stress, and academic achievement mid-pandemic.
Two hundred ninety-three undergraduates completed online questionnaires assessing demographics, global sleep quality, insomnia severity, health, and perceived stress; cumulative grade point averages (GPAs) were also collected for each participant.
The proportion of participants in each group did not differ from the pre-pandemic values reported in Williams et al (2020). Relative to the normal-sleepers group, the insomnia group reported poorer sleep quality, greater insomnia severity, poorer functioning on measures of physical health, and increased stress; only 1 significant difference was found concerning the BIISS group. Group differences were not found on GPA.
Despite the various challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, the distribution of participants by group was similar to those reported pre-pandemic. The insomnia group fared most poorly in terms of sleep quality, insomnia severity, physical health, and stress. As such, additional effort should be devoted to identifying undergraduates with insomnia to provide treatment that may improve their sleep and their health.

本研究旨在确定(1)在冠状病毒病 2019(COVID-19)大流行期间,与正常睡眠者相比,认同失眠或行为诱导的睡眠不足综合征(BIISS)的本科生分布是否发生变化,以及与大流行前报告的值相比是否发生变化;(2)在大流行期间,组(失眠、BIISS 和正常睡眠者)与健康、压力和学业成绩的关联是否存在差异。
293 名本科生完成了在线问卷,评估人口统计学、整体睡眠质量、失眠严重程度、健康和感知压力;还为每位参与者收集了累计平均绩点(GPA)。
每个组的参与者比例与 Williams 等人(2020 年)报告的大流行前值没有差异。与正常睡眠者组相比,失眠组报告的睡眠质量较差、失眠严重程度较高、身体健康测量的功能较差和压力增加;仅发现 BIISS 组存在 1 个显著差异。在 GPA 方面未发现组间差异。
尽管 COVID-19 大流行带来了各种挑战,但按组划分参与者的分布与大流行前报告的情况相似。失眠组在睡眠质量、失眠严重程度、身体健康和压力方面表现最差。因此,应该投入更多精力来识别患有失眠的本科生,提供可能改善他们睡眠和健康的治疗。
