Effects of COVID-19 on circadian clock and life quality of the Turkish people

Öz

Purpose: Understand the effects of COVID-19 pandemic on life quality and sleeping profile of Turkish people. Material and Methods: A pandemic causing virus COVID-19 was first reported China, on December 2019. According to the WHO COVID-19 Situation Report-202, over 19-million COVID-19 were diagnosed worldwide, and 240,804 cases were reported from Turkey. During this outbreak, sleeping schedules of people altered due to dramatic changes in their daily lives. Sleep is one of the most important component of our lives, and it is regulated by a tightly controlled mechanism called circadian clock. In this study, 1230 people participated to a survey about their wellbeing and sleep-wake times before and during the pandemic. Results: When the survey results were analyzed, 65 percent of participants indicated that their life quality significantly went down. As the results of quarantine rules, physical activities of 82 percent of the participants reduced significantly. Sleep-wake times are now spread to a wider window compared to before COVID-19. Additionally, workdays versus work-free days difference has gotten smaller with increased working from home situations. These results indicate that, working and studying from home allowed people to plan their sleep according to their body clock, instead of the clock on the wall. Conclusion: Although the life quality is reduced, quarantine let people to plan their daily lives based on their chronotype (their own body clock). This relatively small-scale survey indicated that people and the public authorities should consider society’s changed biological clocks and wellbeing during their ‘back to normal’ processes.
