A longitudinal analysis of COVID-19 lockdown stringency on sleep and resting heart rate measures across 20 countries

Abstract Lockdowns imposed to stem the spread of COVID-19 massively disrupted the daily routines of many worldwide, but studies to date have been mostly confined to observations within a limited number of countries, based on subjective reports and surveys from specific time periods during the pandem...
