The past couple of years has taken a toll on sleep patterns due to stress and other challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. According to a study published in Sleep Medicine in November 2021, which surveyed 22,330 adults from 13 countries: one in three participants had clinical insomnia symptoms and nearly 20 per cent had the conditions for insomnia disorder. These figures are more than double of what they were pre-pandemic.

Most people require 7-8 hours of sleep per night. A good night`s sleep is necessary for our mental well-being as it recharges and resets our minds for optimal functioning.

If the sleep-related issues persist for days and are not addressed soon, it may lead to sleep disorders and can affect one`s mental health.
