Coronavirus Tracked: Data reveals how we are sleeping longer but worse during lockdown

[marmar]

(Independent UK) People are sleeping less well under lockdown, according to a new study conducted by King’s College London and Ipsos MORI.

Half of the people surveyed between 22 and 24 May reported more disturbed sleep, while 38 per cent of people said they experienced more vivid dreams.

The findings follow several previous studies by fitness tracking firms that revealed people have been sleeping longer during the lockdown period.

This suggests that despite sleeping for longer, people may still feel less rested than before the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic. .............(more)

1. That's me. I'm sleeping so much.

2. Yup

I'm sleeping more but feeling less rested. Also feel like eating less. I can usually barely eat breakfast and have a hard time stopping for lunch but I'm usually eating ok at dinnertime. I am mostly working from home, so my activity is generally much less than it was before. Also, I think daylight savings time (which I hate) is partially to blame. My body ALWAYS feels out of sync for 8 months of the year. The "fall back" is always a relief to my body. We're still grabbing take out occasionally but mainly eating at home, so everything gets boring after awhile and the thought of wanting to go out to a restaurant for a nice meal is overwhelming at times but I value my health and safety as well as that of my wife and daughter more.
