Sleep disturbance was common among patients hospitalized for COVID-19 and was associated with symptoms of long COVID, including breathlessness and reduced lung function, a study found.
A study shows that poor-quality sleep and irregular sleep by patients previously hospitalized for COVID are associated with breathlessness, but the mechanisms involved remain unclear, according to an editorial.
Sleep disturbance following hospital admission for COVID-19 is associated with dyspnoea,
anxiety, and muscle weakness. Due to the association with multiple symptoms, targeting
sleep disturbance might be beneficial in treating the post-COVID-19 condition.
