Abstract

 

 Background: The COVID-19 pandemic-related social restriction policy has a spillover effect on sleep quality. Sleep quality worsened after the social restriction policy was implemented, followed by an improved sleep quality longitudinal trajectory. Previous studies have focused on the pre-pandemic and post-implementation impacts of social restrictions on sleep quality, but not after social restrictions were lifted. Objective: Evaluate the sleep quality after the ease of the COVID-19 pandemic-related social restriction policy. Methods: We recruited voluntary academic staff who lived in Indonesia, had no leave during the work from home (WFH) period, and were non-shift workers to participate in the study. We administered the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Sleep Hygiene Index, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Reduced Morning-Eveningness, and micro-Munich Chronotype Questionnaires. We additionally attempted to get the subject to recall their sleep quality one year after the pandemic. The repeated measure of sleep quality was analyzed using a linear mixed-effect model, and the determinant factors of sleep quality in the WFO period were analyzed using a linear model. Results: A total of 52 academic staff participated in this study. We found non-significant overall PSQI score increments between the two periods (β = 0.20, p-value > 0.05). In addition, we found heterogeneity in sleep quality trajectories among subjects. On the other hand, sleep hygiene, individual resilience, and marital status significantly impact sleep quality among academic staff in the WFO period. Conclusion: There was no difference in sleep quality between the two time periods. The study highlighted the significant influence of sleep hygiene, resilience, and marital status on sleep quality among academic staff during the WFO period.
