4 ways the COVID-19 pandemic changed the way we sleep | Sleeping With Science

Transcriber: Leslie Gauthier Reviewer:

The COVID pandemic has changed sleep in at least four different ways:

Prevodilac: Marija Savic Lektor: Ivana Korom

KOVID pandemija promenila navike u spavanju na bar četiri načina:

quantity, quality, timing and dreaming.

kvanitet, kvalitet, vreme odlaska na spavanje i san.

[Sleeping with Science]

[Spavanje sa naukom]

The first is sleep quantity.

Prva je dužina spavanja.

A study conducted across Europe,

Jedna studija sprovedena širom Evrope,

as well as the US and Asia,

kao i SAD-a i Azije

found that on average people were sleeping around 25 minutes more each night

otkrila je da, u proseku, ljudi spavaju oko 25 minuta duže svake noći

during the pandemic.

tokom pandemije.

Second, there has been a change in sleep quality.

Drugo, došlo je do promena u kvalitetu sna.

Now, sleep has of course been a real challenge

Naravno, spavanje je postalo pravi izazov

for many of us during the pandemic.

za mnoge od nas tokom pandemije

And indeed, in the US,

I zaista, u SAD-u,

almost 60 percent of people felt

oko 60 procenata ljudi je osetilo

that the quality of their sleep had become worse during the pandemic.

da lošije spavaju tokom pandemije.

However, 40 percent of the people didn’t feel

Međutim, 40 posto ljudi nije osetilo

that their sleep was any worse,

da lošije spavaju,

so there seems to be quite a difference in the response across individuals

tako da se čini da postoji bitna razlika u odgovorima ispitanika

when it comes to sleep quality and the pandemic.

kada se radi o kvalitetu sna i pandemiji.

The third change we’ve discovered concerns sleep timing.

Treća promena koju smo otkrili se odnosi na vreme odlaska na spavanje.

Since many people didn’t have to commute to work

Pošto mnogi ljudi nisu morali da putuju do posla

or get the kids to school in the morning,

ili vode decu u školu ujutru,

on average, people were going to bed later

u proseku, ljudi su kasnije odlazili na spavanje

and waking up later during the pandemic.

i budili se kasnije tokom pandemije.

And I think this is a case of “Revenge of the Night Owls.”

I ja mislim da je ovo slučaj “Osveta noćnih ptica”.

And I see it as one of the positive consequences

I ja to tumačim kao jednu od pozitivnih posledica

that came out of the pandemic.

koja je proizašla iz pandemije.

The fourth change is that people reported dreaming more

Četvrta promena je da su ljudi izjavili da su sanjali više

and also having COVID-related dreams.

i da su sanjali snove u vezi sa KOVID-om.

And this is likely due to the fact

I ovo je verovatno zbog toga

that people were sleeping later into the morning,

što su ljudi spavali duže ujutru

which is the time when we get most of our dream sleep,

što je vreme kada najviše sanjamo,

and the fact that dreaming helps us deal with emotional trauma.

i činjenice da nam snovi pomažu u borbi sa emocionalnim traumama.

However, there are many essential questions that still remain.

Međutim, mnogo je suštinskih pitanja na koja treba odgovoriti.

One that I am particularly interested in answering

Jedno na koje bih rado odgovorio

is whether or not a lack of sleep before getting your COVID shot,

je da li, ili ne, manjak sna pre nego što primite vakcinu protiv KOVID-a

or your COVID booster in the future,

ili buster doze kasnije,

changes the effectiveness of that vaccination,

menja efektivnost vakcinacije

just as we know it does with your annual flu shot.

pošto znamo da to utiče na godišnju vakcinu protiv gripa.

What we do know for certain though is this:

Ono što mi zasigurno znamo je ovo:

your sleep health is intimately related to your immune health.

vaše zdrave navike u spavanju su tesno povezane sa vašim imunitetom.

Said simply:

Jednostavno rečeno:

sleep is a life support system.

spavanje je sistem za održavanje života.
