Popis: Pandemic related changes are different from the usual stress based changes that we may face in our everyday life. With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, the human race has witnessed major stressors among which sleep and related difficulties have been a prominent one. From social isolation to persistent emotional uncertainty and juggling between work and home while staying indoors, multiple factors have resulted in elevated sleep deprivation. These pose a risk for multiple physical and emotional morbidities. To this end, we attempt to highlight the possible factors behind sleep deprivation and the associated difficulties. The paper also lays a course of action to improve sleep hours and quality, which are doable and easy to adopt.
