When COVID-19 was declared a pandemic in March of 2020, governments quickly imposed state lockdowns to contain the spread of the virus.
This was how the year looked like for most people: cooped up at home, going out only to buy essential items. Others did not even bother and just bought groceries and goods from an online drugstore or door-to-door delivery markets. Many transitioned to remote work or homeschooling or started a business at home to recuperate from the pandemic’s negative financial impact.
With all these changes, people’s lives aren’t the same as they were just at the beginning of the year. COVID-19 drastically affected people’s daily schedules, and with it, their sleeping patterns. Sleep experts even coined a new term for it: Coronasomnia.
