The effect of COVID‐19 restrictions on sleep in individuals with cognitive impairment and their carers

COVID‐19 restrictions have been associated with apathy, anxiety and depression in individuals with cognitive impairment1‐3 and increased stress in caregivers4. But despite links between these restrictions and sleep impairment in the general population5, effects on sleep in this cohort are not widely reported. Here we determine overall sleep quality in these populations during the first UK lockdown, how this changed over time and explanatory factors associated with longitudinal change.
