The numbers haven't come in yet but I am sure if ever they are collected, sleeping hours lost would add up to among the biggest losses we have suffered during these pandemic months

Numerous studies have shown that rates of depression have gone up exponentially over the period of the pandemic, with lower hours of sleep and increased consumption of alcohol and tobacco feeding the rates of depression

A report titled ‘Philips Global Sleep Survey 2021’ highlighted that since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, Indian adults experienced new sleep challenges like difficulty falling asleep (37 percent), difficulty staying asleep (27 percent), and waking up during the night (39 percent)

Paradoxically, 54 percent of Indian adults reported that the amount of time spent fully asleep actually increased during the pandemic

The study also reported that 80 percent of patients with sleep apnea experience daytime drowsiness, while only 52 percent of those who do not have sleep apnea experience the same

Sleep apnea impacts productivity and overall quality of life and can also lead to more serious health issues like cardiac conditions, strokes, neurological disorders, diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity

There are broadly four types of vaccine — one, a vaccine based on the whole virus (this could be either inactivated, or an attenuated [weakened] virus vaccine); two, a non-replicating viral vector vaccine that uses a benign virus as vector that carries the antigen of SARS-CoV; three, nucleic-acid vaccines that have genetic material like DNA and RNA of antigens like spike protein given to a person, helping human cells decode genetic material and produce the vaccine; and four, protein subunit vaccine wherein the recombinant proteins of SARS-COV-2 along with an adjuvant (booster) is given as a vaccine

Increased screen time, as we spend hours on our smartphones or other devices, also has a serious impact on the ability to sleep and its eventual quality

Surveys show that increased usage of electronic devices during the last year and a half has led to shorter total sleep times, diminished sleep quality, increasing symptoms of insomnia, and irregular timings for sleeping and waking up

With our natural  anchors for keeping track of the time, like leaving for work, or going or a run, gone, the day just seems to dissolve for most of us and there seems no reason to get up or go to sleep at a particular time

What’s more, as we try to make up for lost sleep by sleeping whenever we can, including during the day, we end up worsening things by throwing the natural circadian rhythms out of whack

And the worry this triggers, again affects our ability to sleep

Of course, this doesn't even include those who suffered from terrible tragedies at home that made sleep seem like an indulgence

Many of them worked for 24-36 hours at a stretch before collapsing into sleep through sheer exhaustion
