The natural history of insomnia: predisposing, precipitating, coping, and perpetuating factors over the early developmental course of insomnia

Jason G. Ellis et al.

Summary: This study is the first to examine factors influencing the early developmental course of insomnia, including predisposing, precipitating, coping, and perpetuating factors. Results showed that age, lower openness to experience, and conscientiousness, higher insomnia severity, anxiety levels, and affective sleep preoccupation predict acute insomnia status. Additionally, previous insomnia episodes, higher depression scores, and affective sleep preoccupation scores predict persistence of insomnia rather than natural remission.

Federico Salfi et al.

Summary: This study found that during the COVID-19 lockdown, participants who increased electronic device usage experienced worsened sleep quality, exacerbated insomnia symptoms, shortened sleep duration, prolonged sleep onset latency, and delayed bedtime and rising time.

Guido Simonelli et al.

Summary: During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers and practitioners worldwide identified several major disruptors to sleep health, including crisis situations, social isolation, and economic uncertainty. Three parallel systematic reviews were conducted to examine these factors, along with potential moderating factors such as age, sex, ethnicity, and occupation. Novel research directions were proposed to mitigate the short- and long-term impacts of the pandemic and prepare for future crises.

Dilara Yuksel et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to changes in sleep patterns and poorer sleep health globally, with older individuals, those in partnerships, and living in higher income countries experiencing better sleep health, while stricter quarantine measures and pandemic-related factors contribute to poorer sleep health. Poor sleep health is strongly associated with greater depression and anxiety symptoms, with domestic conflict being the strongest correlate of poorer sleep health. Participants from Latin America reported the lowest sleep health scores.

Insomnia during the COVID-19 pandemic: the role of depression and COVID-19-related risk factors

Kendra L. Pizzonia et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to changes in sleep patterns and increased rates of insomnia. Depression was found to be a significant predictor of insomnia symptoms, while COVID-19 worry and safety behaviors were more related to general safety than insomnia specifically. Overall, depression appears to play a key role in understanding and treating insomnia symptoms during the pandemic.
