Two things you should do to take care of your mental health in the pandemic

 

In March 2020, the world froze over most of the planet, and the lockdown and restrictions to combat COVID-19 have dramatically changed our daily routine. New work published in the Periodical of Sleep Research, involving 7,517 adults from many countries surveyed in 2020, shows that during those months, the average level of sleep quality, superiority of life, physical activity and productivity deteriorated. In addition, the average time spent in front of screens has been significantly increased and the time spent outdoors has been reduced .

 


The researchers found that the greatest reduction in time spent outdoors and in daylight was closely associated with poor well-being and trouble falling asleep. "Our results show that strategies to improve well-being under social constraints should promote more daylight and better sleep," said Maria Corman, a researcher at Ariel University in Israel and lead author of the study.
