Among the various post COVID complications that people have been complaining about, sleep disturbances and changes in sleep pattern are common. A recent online survey conducted by LocalCircles, a community social media platform, has shown that 52% of 32,000 people surveyed said their sleep pattern has changed post COVID.
The survey studied responses of 32,000 citizens from across 322 districts of India, 39% of whom were women. Conducted from April 10 to July 9, the survey found that one in two Indians is getting less than six hours of uninterrupted sleep each night while one in four is sleeping less than four hours.
While only 6% of the respondents said they get 8-10 hours of uninterrupted sleep at night, 38% said they get 6-8 hours, 27% said they get four to six hours and 23% upto four hours.
