COVID-19 Pandemic and Its Impact on Sleep Health: A Rapid Review.
Year: 2022
Type: review
Abstract: This rapid review aims to elucidate the impact of coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (COVID) disease-both in the acute phase and the "long-hauler" syndrome-on sleep health. Literature regarding the direct physiologic impact of COVID disease on sleep is sparse but has illuminated a toxic synergy between the immune response to COVID disease and the pro-inflammatory state brought on by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Primary care physicians and sleep medicine specialists should aggressively screen for OSA in COVID patients.
