Patients with a history of COVID-19 report long-lasting sleep disturbances that do not subside spontaneously. After the observation period, moderate levels of daytime sleepiness and insomnia were found in the patient group studied. The most frequently reported problems included irregular sleep, frequent awakenings, and difficulty maintaining sleep, while normal sleep duration was preserved. Shorter time in bed, shorter total sleep time, and faster awakening after sleep onset were found to be associated with more sleepiness. Longer time in bed was associated with more severe insomnia. Furthermore, older age, longer time since COVID-19, longer time in bed, longer duration of sleep, and shorter time of wakefulness after sleep onset were predictors of lower sleepiness levels, while female gender and longer time in bed were predictors of insomnia.
