The struggle for sleep is even more pronounced given the strain of uncertainty from Covid-19. Study participants tracked from the onset of quarantine in March through shelter-in-place during April and May provide some valuable insights. Specific insomnia issues expressed are negative feelings, stress, worry, an over-active mind, inability to relax, and nightmares. 22% of respondents said they are unemployed. Nearly 50% rely on pharmaceutical sleep aids. This Sensi sleep study expanded on the work from previous Sensi insomnia studies and looked at a variety of sleep related variables, such as sleep patterns, reasons for not sleeping, different types of cannabis use, use of other medications, and lifestyle factors like exercise and napping, with the intention of getting a more holistic picture of the factors impacting sleep.
