The researchers determined that nightmares increased by 50% in people who caught the virus in the early months of the pandemic."Most people, if they don't have any sleep difficulties, probably fall asleep within 10 to 20 minutes," Drerup said. "It varies as well. If it takes someone 45 minutes to fall asleep and that's normal for them and they allow enough time, it's not necessarily a problem."
