We would like to comment on the recent cross-sectional study by Martínez-Lezaun et al1 regarding the impact of confinement due to COVID-19 on the quality of sleep and interests of students across different Spanish universities. The authors concludedthat confinement is associated with worsened quality of sleep and reduced activity. As medical undergraduates ourselves, we have personally observed the high prevalence of this matter being discussed in community-based settings (GP practices) in the UK. Werecognize the importance of good sleep hygiene and we strongly resonate with the study participants with regards to how the lockdown can negatively affect health and sleep. The authors have enlightened us with useful insights into this topic of interest;however, we would like to address several issues, in hopes of informing future research in this area of study.View the original paper by Martínez-Lezaun and colleagues |
