背景资料：为防止COVID-19大流行的社区传播而实施的封锁将人们限制在家中并施加社会限制，预计这将导致昼夜节律驱动的睡眠-觉醒时间表及其相关生活方式行为的改变。进行了一项基于网络的调查，以评估封锁对睡眠-觉醒模式的影响，在封锁期间，印度人口的用餐时间和数字媒体曝光时间。1511名参与者（年龄>= 18岁）的反应进行了分析，以评估性别和年龄对这些参数的影响之前和期间lockdown.Results：睡眠的开始-醒来时间和吃饭的时间显着延迟在锁定期间，这是更明显的年轻受试者。然而，年轻人在这个时候报告睡眠时间增加。数字媒体持续时间的增加在所有年龄组都很明显，主要是男性。结论：在COVID-19大流行期间，由于完全封锁而导致的与社会和自然线索的不协调导致印度人的社会时差状态，包括延迟的睡眠-觉醒，用餐时间和过度的数字媒体暴露，这对男性和女性以及不同年龄组有不同的影响。这些发现对睡眠健康和相关行为在较长的社会隔离条件下（如当前的COVID-19或类似情况）的影响，可能有助于为未来的任何此类事件做好准备。
Background: Lockdowns to prevent the community transmission of COVID-19 pandemic has confined the people at home and imposed social restrictions, which is expected to cause alterations in circadian driven sleep-wake schedule and its associated lifestyle behaviors.Design and Methods: An online questionnaire-based survey was conducted to assess the impact of lockdown on the sleep-wake pattern, meal timings and digital media exposure time on the Indian population during lockdown. Responses of 1511 participants (age >= 18 years) were analyzed to assess the effect of gender and age on these parameters before and during lockdown.Results: The sleep onset-wakeup times and meals' time was significantly delayed during lockdown, which was more pronounced in younger subjects. However, young individuals reported increased sleep duration at this time. Increased digital media duration was evident in all age groups, mainly in males. However, females reported more delay in sleep onset-waking time and first meal timing with longer sleep duration during lockdown.Conclusions: Discord with social and natural cues due to complete lockdown during COVID-19 pandemic leads to a state of social jetlag with delayed sleep-wake, meal timings and excessive digital media exposure among Indians, which has differential impact on males and females as well as across different age groups. These findings have applied implications in sleep health and related behavior during longer social isolation conditions such as current COVID-19 or similar situations and may help to prepare better for any such future events.
