A recent study has discovered that daily worries related to the ongoing
Covid-19 pandemic have a greater impact on the quality of daydreams
compared to night-dreams. Researchers examined the effects of
pandemic-related concerns on the content and emotional tone of both
daydreams and dreams during sleep. Surprisingly, they found that
individuals who experienced higher levels of anxiety and stress during the
day reported more negative daydreams, while their night-dreams remained
relatively unaffected. The study suggests that the persistent nature of
daily worries about the pandemic can seep into daydreams, affecting their
overall quality and emotional tone. Understanding the impact of
pandemic-related concerns on various aspects of mental well-being could
help develop strategies to mitigate their negative effects.
