Long COVID as a risk factor for hypersomnolence and fatigue: insights from the ...
Sarkanen, Tomi; Merikanto, Ilona; Bjorvatn, Bjorn; Chung, Frances; Holzinger, Brigitte; Morin, Charles M.; Penzel, Thomas; Gennaro, Luigi deBackground: Hypersomnolence, defined as excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), excessive quantity of sleep (EQS), sleep inertia, and fatigue reduce quality of life. We assessed associations of the COVID-19 pandemic, infection without long-term sequalae (short COVID, SC), and long COVID (LC) on hypersomnolence and fatigue in a large population across different countries. Methods: As part of an online questionnaire ...
Associations between obesity, a composite risk score for probable long COVID, a...
Xue, Pei; Merikanto, Ilona; Delale, Eva A.; Bjelajac, Adrijana; Yordanova, Juliana; Chan, Rachel N. Y.; Korman, Maria; Mota-Rolim, Sérgio A.Background: Preliminary data suggests that obesity might hasten the decline in mRNA vaccine-induced immunity against SARS-CoV-2. However, whether this renders individuals with obesity more susceptible to long COVID symptoms post-vaccination remains uncertain. Given sleep’s critical role in immunity, exploring the associations between obesity, probable long COVID symptoms, and sleep disturbances is essential. Me...
Persistent short nighttime sleep duration is associated with a greater post-COV...
Xue, Pei; Merikanto, Ilona; Chung, Frances; Morin, Charles M.; Espie, Colin; Bjorvatn, Bjørn; Cedernaes, Jonathan; Landtblom, Anne-Marie; Penzel, ThomasShort nighttime sleep duration impairs the immune response to virus vaccination, and long nighttime sleep duration is associated with poor health status. Thus, we hypothesized that short (<6 h) and long (>9 h) nighttime sleepers have a higher post-COVID risk than normal nighttime sleepers, despite two doses of mRNA vaccine (which has previously been linked to lower odds of long-lasting COVID-19 symptoms). Post-...
Associations between changes in habitual sleep duration and lower self-rated he...
Matsui, Kentaro; Chung, Frances; Bjelajac, Adrijana Koscec; Merikanto, Ilona; Korman, Maria; Mota-Rolim, Sérgio; Cunha, Ana Suely; Bjorvatn, BjørnBackground: Self-rated health (SRH) is widely recognized as a clinically significant predictor of subsequent mortality risk. Although COVID-19 may impair SRH, this relationship has not been extensively examined. The present study aimed to examine the correlation between habitual sleep duration, changes in sleep duration after infection, and SRH in subjects who have experienced SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods: Par...
