The Covid-19 pandemic has led to many people battling with sleep disorders.
Some people can’t get back on a normal sleep schedule after working from home and staying up late.
Others gained weight and their airway obstruction worsened. Then, there is a group with anxiety, grief or guilt, suffering what has become known as coronasomnia.
