Abstract

Background

All elements of everyday life have been seriously and significantly impacted by the global COVID-19 outbreak. Previous research has demonstrated a connection between infectious disease epidemics and sleep disturbances as well as psychological discomfort, such as traumatic stress, melancholy, and anxiety.

Objectives
The study aimed to summarize current evidences about sleep quality and sleep disorders for patients that had Covid-19 infection

Methods
For article selection, the PubMed database and EBSCO Information Services were used. All articles relevant with our topic and other articles were used in our review. Other articles that were not related to this field were excluded. The data was extracted in a specific format that was reviewed by the group members.

Conclusion

Our study included 8 studies in total. Patients with recovered COVID-19 showed a statistically significant prevalence of insomnia than control groups. Patients must be advised to follow-up if they have trouble sleeping as a result. Early detection and treatment of people who are experiencing insomnia are crucial to prevent long-term harmful effects as increase in the intensity of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress that were shown to be substantially correlated with poor sleep quality.
