Having trouble sleeping? Malaysian experts on why and what you can do amid this Covid-19 crisis. [Newspaper] (2020)
Abstract
The Covid-19 crisis has brought a lot of uncertainties for many - and this has affected their sleeping patterns.
Universiti Malaya (UM) consultant psychiatrist Dr Rusdi Abd Rashid said that the number of individuals suffering from sleep problems have been increasing since the movement control order (MCO).
He said uncertainties during the MCO period such as financial insecurities have induced feelings of anxiousness and despair - subsequently affecting their sleeping patterns.
“With the MCO being enforced, people are constantly thinking about their jobs and salaries to support themselves and their family members,” he said.
