Abstract
The COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic has profoundly changed our lives, affecting sleep and mental/physical health. This review outlines the relationship between COVID-19 and sleep, (1) the impact of COVID-19 and social restriction to prevent the outbreak of COVID-19 on sleep and (2) the impact of sleep on COVID-19 and vaccine effectiveness. Even if COVID-19 is successfully controlled by the development of vaccines and medications, new infectious diseases will appear one after another. In addition to infectious diseases, natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods may force people to live in shelters. We need to learn from this experience, strengthen our preparedness for pandemics, and consider how to maintain good sleep health during emergencies, as well as promote the knowledge about sleep health throughout society.
