Factors Associated With Sleep Disorders Among Indian and Ethiopian Students in the Digital World in the Midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Despite the effectiveness of public health interventions to prevent coronavirus disease and its infection (COVID-19), it had a substantial impression on global sleep health. Knowing the frequency and associated causes of sleep disorders among university students is critical since they can have a major influence on one's health and academic success. The main inflection of this research was to determine how widespread sleep problems were among university students and to determine what factors led to them during full swing of COVID-19 pandemic. The internet deployed transverse analysis, which included 443 students from Indian and Ethiopian institutions between April 1st and April 13th 2021. The survey was distributed to respondents via social media media like WhatsApp, e-mail, Telegram, and other social media platforms once a link with a Google form was created. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used to examine the students' sleep issues. The frequency and determinants of sleep disturbances were estimated using descriptive and inferential studies.
