COVID-19 infection and sleep health: findings from the nationally representative COVID-19's Unequal Racial Burden survey.
Article in Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
STUDY
objectivesTo estimate overall and racial/ethnic-specific associations between COVID-19 infection status and sleep health.
methodsWe analyzed online survey data collected from December 2020 to February 2021 among Asian, Black, Latino (English- and Spanish-speaking), and White adults (n = 1,000 each), along with American Indian/Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and multiracial adults (n = 500). COVID-19 infection (confirmed, probable, suspected), based on self-reported data on symptoms and infected contacts, was classified using World Health Organization definitions. Sleep disturbances were categorized as "yes" (mild/moderate/severe) vs "no" (normal). Weighted analyses were used to generate nationally representative estimates within each racial/ethnic group. Adjusting for sociodemographic and health behaviors, Poisson regression with robust variance estimated prevalence ratios and confidence intervals for sleep disturbances among individuals with vs without a COVID-19 infection in the overall population and by gender, ability to get health care, and race/ethnicity.
resultsAmong 5,359 eligible participants, 24% had a COVID-19 infection. COVID-19 infection was associated with a 32% higher prevalence of sleep disturbances (PR = 1.32 [95% confidence interval: 1.22-1.42]). The higher prevalence of sleep disturbances among women with vs without COVID-19 (PR = 1.32 [1.19-1.45]) was similar to men (PR = 1.34 [1.18-1.53]). COVID-19 infection was associated with an even higher prevalence of sleep disturbances among participants who reported being able vs unable to get needed health care. COVID-sleep associations were higher among American Indian/Alaska Native (PR = 1.64 [1.30-2.09]), Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (PR = 1.53 [1.24-1.90]), and English-speaking Latino (PR = 1.49 [1.20-1.86]) adults compared to White adults (PR = 1.14 [0.93-1.41]), although confidence intervals overlapped.
conclusionsCOVID-19 infections may lead to sleep disturbances among US adults. CITATION: Alhasan DM, Gaston SA, Strassle PD, Nápoles AM, Jackson CL. COVID-19 infection and sleep health: findings from the nationally representative COVID-19's Unequal Racial Burden survey.
