新型冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间的社会限制影响了年轻人的睡眠行为和睡眠问题，以及相关的日间功能。然而，还没有研究在感染强度和社会限制较轻的国家的年轻人中检查过这种变化。因此，我们专注于日本年轻人的睡眠行为和睡眠问题。该研究在大流行之前和之后（分别为2019年10月和2020年5月）进行。共计2，222人（1，371名学生和851名工人）个人参与并完成了匿名的基于网络的问卷调查，问卷内容涉及人口统计学特征、睡眠行为、使用日本版的埃普沃思嗜睡量表（JESS）和雅典失眠量表（AIS-J）的睡眠问题、使用日本版的凯斯勒心理困扰量表的心理困扰、和健康相关生活质量（HRQoL），采用简明健康状况调查表-8（SF-8）进行评价。与第一次调查相比，第二次调查中观察到睡眠阶段明显延迟（p < .001），学生比工人更明显（p < .001）。总睡眠时间、社会时差程度、JESS、AIS-J和SF-8评分在大流行后显著改善（分别为p <0.001、p <0.001、p <0.001、p <0.05和p <0.001）。需要仔细监测这些微小的变化是否会导致调整问题。
Social restrictions during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic have impacted sleep behavior and sleep problems, and their related daytime functioning in young adults. However, no studies have examined such changes in young individuals from countries with mild infection intensity and social restrictions. Therefore, we focused on sleep behaviors and sleep issues in young people in Japan. This study was conducted before and after the pandemic (October 2019 and May 2020, respectively). In total, 2,222 (1,371 students and 851 workers) individuals participated and completed anonymous Web-based questionnaires concerning demographic characteristics, sleep behaviors, sleep problems using the Japanese version of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (JESS) and the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS-J), psychological distress using the Japanese version of the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) evaluated with the Short Form-8 (SF-8). A significantly delayed sleep phase was observed in the second survey compared to the first (p < .001) and was more pronounced in students than in workers (p < .001). The total sleep time, social jetlag degree, and JESS, AIS-J, and SF-8 scores were significantly improved after the pandemic (p < .001, p < .001, p < .001, p < .001, p < .05, and p < .001, respectively). Careful monitoring of whether these modest changes can lead to adjustment concerns is needed.
