Abstract

A total of 1,011 university students reported changes in sleep-wake behavior during the COVID-19 lockdown.

  • Participants experienced a shift in their sleep-wake timing, aligning with their morningness-eveningness preference.
  • An earlier sleep-wake timing was associated with improved mood and well-being.
  • Higher positive mood and well-being were observed in those with both an earlier sleep-wake shift and a preference for morningness.
