Updated February 26, 2023

In May 2020, we surveyed 1,015 respondents in the United States between the ages of 18 and 79 on how their sleep habits have changed post lockdown.

The results reveal interesting data from sleep habits of Americans post Coronavirus pandemic lockdown.

Let’s have a look!

The lockdown has cost us more than just freedom and economy in the last 3 months. Our mental health and sleep habits are also badly affected. Since the active cases of COVID-19 is reducing, we can see the rollback of many restrictions around the U.S. However, our life is not going to return to normal anytime soon. That’s the reason why we conduct a study to find out how the Coronavirus pandemic has changed people sleep habits in the U.S. after lockdown is easing.

I. Survey Demographics

We surveyed 1,015 respondents in the United States between the ages of 18 and 79 on how their sleep habits have changed post lockdown.


55% of the respondents are female, while 45% of them are male.

13.4% of them are Gen Z, 51.6% are Millennial. 25.1% are
Gen X, and 9.9% of them are Baby Boomer.

II. Survey Results

The change of sleep habits and Routines

53% of Americans spend less time for sleep after the lockdown.

52% of Americans go to sleep later than before the lockdown.


67% of Americans believe their sleep was healthier before
the beginning of lockdown.

Sleep problems post lockdown

98% of Americans develop new sleep problems post lockdown. 68% of Americans feel stress or find it hard to sleep, even after the lockdown.

Solutions To Improve Sleep Problems Post lockdown

54% of Americans are aware of their sleep quality and try to improve it after lockdown.

  • A consistent sleep schedule and more exercise are American’s most preferred solutions to improve their sleep quality

While most of Gen Z and Millennials exercise and do other activities
to improve their sleep, most of Gen X and Baby Boomers choose
to do nothing!

Unsure where to start when it comes to improving sleep hygiene? We have a few guides with handy tips and tricks for better sleep:

  • How to Fix Your Sleep Schedule
  • How Exercise Can Help You Sleep Better
  • How To Wake Up Early: 8 Benefits To Waking Up Early
  • Can’t Sleep? 7 Tips for Better Sleep
  • Will Drinking Warm Milk Make You Go to Sleep?

Differents Habits between Generations

  • Gen Z and Millennials take care of their sleep health more than Gen X and Baby Boomers

  • Younger generation, like Gen Z and Millennials, go to bed later than any other generation after quarantine

  • Older generation like, Baby Boomers, have a more stable sleep routine throughout the lockdown

III. Methodology And Limitations

To collect the data shown above, we surveyed 1,015 respondents in the United States on their sleep habits post quarantine. An attention-checking question was included to ensure the participants did not mindlessly answer questions.

Because the survey relies on self-reporting, issues such as telescoping and exaggeration can influence responses. Please also note that this survey’s results do not reflect our opinions.

EachNight Fact-Checking Standards and Processes

The EachNight writing team is devoted to creating articles that are not only entertaining and easy to understand but also as impartial, accurate, and well-sourced as possible. Whenever possible, we strive to have our articles fact-checked by our independent review board. We also do not tolerate plagiarism or ill intent from our contributors.

Here are the medical and factual guidelines that a EachNight article must adhere to:

  • We draw upon only reputable and respectable sources when researching our articles’ topics and endeavor to only link to highly authoritative sources. Such sources would include peer-reviewed medical and academic journals, medical and academic associations in good standing, and interviews with or blog posts from certified medical professionals.
  • We may link to news articles or peer-reviewed medical blog posts about studies when appropriate, but always attempt to connect directly to the studies these pages discuss.
  • Our scientific information, conclusions, and analysis are always supported by at least one reputable source.
  • We strive to make any potential conflicts of interest attached to any studies or sources clear to our readers. When applicable, we also try to include conflicting research or questions that may throw a study’s conclusion into doubt to clarify that scientific understandings often change and progress over time.
  • Our articles typically link to other articles and resources on our site. This is solely for easier navigation, and we do not promote our website as a medical resource. Try to speak with your physician if you have medical concerns.
  • Any necessary background information on a topic will be included when appropriate.
  • Our goal is for every one of our medical-related articles to be reviewed by our independent board of experts. Should they spot any medical or health-related misinformation or errors, we will strike it out from the final published article.
