| Summary: | GT outcomes related to covid and insomnia are reviewed. Peaks in requests are noted during disease outbreaks. A machine-expert analysis of the vocabulary of tweets showed that in November 2021, users mainly complained of feeling unwell, insomnia, and headaches. In November 2022, problems related to the brain became important topics of discussion. Users actively discussed sleep problems, often using emoji. Comparison of the vocabulary of scientific articles and tweets showed a significant similarity of the topics discussed. Twitter users often complain about poor sleep and insomnia due to current covid, or a previous illness (long-term consequences of covid). At the same time, problems associated with the brain and neuropsychological state are often noted. At the same time, these topics are poorly represented in the scientific literature. Consequently, Twitter users may be exposed to distorted information, which may exacerbate their psychological stress. |
