In times of health crisis, the anxiety generated plays an important role in increasing insomnia rates. As for the effect of confinement, it has an impact on habits and behaviors that are not conducive to quality sleep: more screens during the day and evening, and less exposure to daylight, for example. To limit this, it's advisable to establish a daily routine: get up at a fixed time in the morning, take part in physical activity during the day, eat meals at regular times, and plan leisure time "to decompress". Relaxing activities (reading, sophrology, etc.) and limiting the use of screens in the two hours before bedtime are also beneficial. Avoid sources of anxiety-provoking information.
