When COVID-19 was declared a pandemic in March 2020, countries rapidly implemented state-level lockdowns to stop the virus from spreading.

For the most part, this was how the year went for most people: caged up at home, only venturing out to buy necessities. Others didn’t bother and instead relied on online drugstores or door-to-door delivery markets to get their groceries and commodities. To recover from the pandemic’s financial burden, many people switched to remote employment, homeschooling, or ventured into business.

People’s lives are no longer the same as they were at the start of the year as a result of all these changes. COVID-19 had a significant impact on people’s everyday routines, as well as their sleeping patterns. Coronasomnia is a novel concept coined by sleep scientists.

You are not alone if you experienced sleep disruptions during the months-long quarantine. In this infographic from Mediclick PH, you can learn more about the science of sleep as well as recommendations on how to improve your nighttime slumber.
