RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN LIFESTYLE AND SLEEP STANDARD DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Abstract

Sleep quality is considered an important health indicator. We verified the influence of sleep and state of anxiety in 93 women (>30 years), between July and August 2020. We analyzed the Sociocultural, Chronotypes, PSQI, IDATE-T/E, BDI and BHS inventories correctly answered. A decrease in the quantity and quality of sleep was observed. In the BDI (n=75), 69% had a minimum score for depression, 12% moderate and 3% severe. Crossing these data with the age group, 76% of women with a minimum score are over 60 years old and 7% with a severe score, between 50 and 59 years old. Crossing BDI and Chronotype: 78% of the mornings had a minimum rating for depression. 17% of the moderately afternoon and 5% of the intermediate ones, indicated a serious tendency for depression. In the BHS (n=83), 76%, 18%, 4% and 2% express, respectively, minimal, mild, moderate and severe negative expectations about the immediate and remote future. Crossing IDATE with PSQI, 78% with sleep disorder are in an average condition of anxiety, as state and trait. 22% have high state anxiety, while state and 11% trait. External factors can be correlated as causes of differences in sleep patterns. Actions that lead to self-knowledge and self-care can contribute to the recognition of the first signs of sleep and mood changes, allowing better control and monitoring of real situations of external conflict.
