Objective: Sleep disorders are common and may cause accidents and inefficiencies in daily life as well as increase the risk of infection and deteriorate prognosis. This study aimed to evaluate sleepiness, insomnia, and quality of sleep with sleep scales in patients with suspected and confirmed Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) who were hospitalized for treatment. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in University of Health Sciences Turkey, Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Training and Research Hospital between May and June 2020. Group 1 comprised 49 patients with a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis on thoracic computed tomography (CT) and polymerase chain reaction test. Group 2 comprised 45 patients with a suspected diagnosis of COVID-19 on thoracic CT. The required data were collected using the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), insomnia severity index, and Pittsburgh sleep quality index. Results: No significant difference was found between the confirmed and suspected disease groups, which were divided into 4 subgroups according to insomnia severity and into 2 groups according to the ESS findings. A statistically significant difference was detected between these groups concerning sleep quality (p=0.02). Conclusion: As a biopsychosocial entity, a person may be easily affected by COVID-19; hence, the consequent psychosomatic aspects of this pandemic should not be neglected and the sleep quality of patients should be thoroughly investigated.
