Covid-19-stress associated with worse sleep quality, particularly with increasing age.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Based on SST, one might predict that older adults' well-being would be less negatively impacted by Covid-19-stress, as with other stressors, than younger people. However, whether sleep quality, which is negatively affected by aging, is similarly protected from the negative consequences of Covid-19-stress with age is unknown.

Method

From December 2020 to April 2021, 386 adults reported their Covid-19-stress, sleep quality, and resilience in an online study.
