The acute stages of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic led to drastic and stressful changes in daily life, such as quarantine, social isolation, unemployment, and disrupted work-life routines. Interventions are needed to support caregivers' sleep during global crises. The predictors associated with poor sleep efficiency during the pandemic were lower income and poor sleep efficiency before the pandemic.ĭiscussion: The study highlighted the factors associated with insomnia and poor sleep efficiency during the COVID-19 pandemic. Greater insomnia symptom severity was independently associated with lower income, greater depressive symptoms, poor sleep hygiene behaviors, altered sleep-wake routine, and greater COVID-related disruptions in daily life.
Almost half (51.5%) were experiencing clinically meaningful insomnia symptoms. Approximately 90% reported that their sleep-wake routine was altered with delayed bedtime and midpoint, and more naps and nightmares. More than half reported clinical levels of depressive symptoms (59.2%) and low sleep efficiency (65.8%).
Results: Nearly 40% of the caregivers reported household incomes <$10,000. Hierarchical regressions were conducted to examine the factors associated with insomnia and sleep efficiency. Participants completed the Center for Epidemiological Studies–Depression Scale-10 (CES-D-10), Sleep Hygiene and Practices Scale (SHPS), Coronavirus Impact Scale (CIS), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), and sleep patterns prior to and during the pandemic. Methods: An internet sample of 136 caregivers (age: 35 ± 9.7 y, 70.6% female) were recruited internationally from to July 1, 2020. This study aimed to describe the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on sleep patterns among parents and caregivers with young children (<6 years) and identify the factors associated with insomnia and sleep efficiency. However, few studies assess sleep quality among parents and caregivers with young children. Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic, sleep problems were highly prevalent.
