A recent study Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine revealed a concerning link between habitual sleep duration, pre-existing medical conditions and the risk of Long COVID. The International COVID Sleep Study II (ICOSS II) was conducted in 2021 and involved 13,461 participants across 16 countries to highlight the role of sleep patterns in exacerbating the effects of the post-COVID symptoms.
Out of the 2,508 individuals who contracted COVID-19, 61% reported experiencing at least one symptom associated with Long COVID. This phenomenon was characterized by persistent symptoms long after the initial infection was cleared.
