Psychological interventions, Sleep, Insomnia, COVID-19.Abstract
Sleep problems have been frequently reported in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although psychological treatment is the first line of treatment for these problems, the evidence is still scant in this context. This paper summarizes the state of the art of the study of the efficacy of non-pharmacological treatment for the treatment of sleep problems in the general population and in health workers.
