ABSTRACT:

Introduction

During the COVID-19 pandemic, sleep problems were highly prevalent. However, few studies assess sleep quality among parents and caregivers with young children. This study aimed to describe the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on sleep patterns among parents and caregivers with young children (<6 years) and identify the factors associated with insomnia and sleep efficiency.

Methods

An internet sample of 136 caregivers (age: 35 ± 9.7 y, 70.6% female) were recruited internationally from May 21, 2020 to July 1, 2020. Participants completed the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale-10 (CES-D-10), Sleep Hygiene and Practices Scale (SHPS), Coronavirus Impact Scale (CIS), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), and sleep patterns prior to and during the pandemic.
