Abstract
In a survey of 67,905 college students, 8.5% reported sleep disturbance during the COVID-19 outbreak.
- At the start of the study, 7.6% of students reported suicidal ideation (SI), which increased to 10.0% by the end.
- Both sleep disturbance and short sleep duration at the beginning of the study were associated with a higher risk of SI later on.
- The prevalence of SI significantly increased with the presence of sleep disturbance and shorter sleep duration.
- Sleep disturbance and short sleep duration were found to predict both new and persistent cases of SI over time.
