For the sleep study in question: a small sample (n=11 patients) mostly men (n=9 patients)
To note: relatively young age (52 years +/- 11 years)
Based on a follow up 60 days after covid diagnosis
64% of patients presented breathing complications

#LongCovid patients have been reporting sleep problems for long. Sleep disruption is a documented long term effect of SARS-CoV-2 infection in numerous clinical studies.
Sleep problems are significant clinical issues that have often been poorly addressed in primary care and beyond

Hopefully, new interest into sleep disruption in chronic illnesses, including (post) infection diseases like #MECFS will be sparked by research on covid sequelae
Sleep problems are issues with great impact on life quality and may be first evidence of severe disease
