Why Sleep is Particularly Important During a Pandemic
By Kelly Cave & Madison Hanscom The current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in increased responsibilities for many people. Citizens are learning how to adjust to a new way of life. This might include learning how to work from home, wearing multiple hats while balancing childcare and work, or the stress of supporting older loved ones.
