description Background and Objective: This study examines sleep quality in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) after recovery, exploring demographic associations to inform post-discharge management and support. Materials and Methods: Conducted as a cross-sectional study, sleep quality was assessed in patients with COVID-19 2-4 weeks post-discharge in Iran. A two-part survey was administered via phone, capturing demographics and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores. Results: Among 147 patients (109 women and 38 men, mean age: 47.9 years), the average PSQI score was 12.48 ± 7.37, with a mean sleep duration of 6.26 ± 1.69 hours. Poor sleep was notably linked to female gender (P = 0.029), unemployment (P = 0.012), and mental health history (P = 0.021). Conclusion: Findings underscore the importance of monitoring sleep quality in COVID-19 recovery, with targeted support potentially reducing hospital readmissions.
