COVID-19 is a highly contagious Delta variant, it has been linked to increased rates of insomnia. While the specific cause is unknown, studies have found that up to 40% of patients have reported difficulty falling asleep, as well as mood and behavior complaints.
These symptoms are often related to irrational use of steroids or post-COVID stress. Lack of sleep can lead to depression, difficulty concentrating, irritability, and memory loss. Sleep is critical to human’s physical health and the effective functioning of our immune system. Maintaining good quality sleep routine is essential for our day-to-day functioning.
While your insomnia may be temporary, it will continue for months to come. One study found that a young, healthy man developed long-term COVID symptoms after being admitted to a hospital. The patient was frequently reminded of his hospital stay, which further affected his quality of sleep. Sleep disturbances post-COVID are a major issue and are often present before the infection. While COVID insomnia is not a life-threatening condition, it can have a lasting impact on your life.
If you continue to suffer from insomnia, consult your doctor immediately. Contact The Air Station Malaysia for details on or, CPAP masks, CPAP trial and home sleep study.
