Changes in Sleep Pattern During the COVID-19 Lockdown in Patients With Narcolepsy, Idiopathic Hypersomnia, and Restless Legs Syndrome.

During the lockdown, all patients reported later bedtimes; those with narcolepsy and IH extended their sleep duration unlike patients with RLS. These changes were often associated with negative consequences on QoL. In the current context of recurrent COVID-19 waves, the recent development of teleconsultations should enable physicians to monitor patients with chronic sleep disorders more closely and to recommend optimized sleep schedules and duration, in order to prevent psychological problems and improve their QoL.
