  abstract = {{B}ackground: {T}he outbreak of the {C}ovid-19 pandemic and the accompanying lockdown measures have had a major impact on societies around the world, leading to sleep problems for a large part of the population. {I}n order to assess the sustainability of sleeping troubles related to the sanitary crisis, it was crucial to measure its prevalence after the end of the {C}ovid-19 confinement. {M}ethods: {A}s part of an epidemiological survey on {C}ovid and {C}onfinement ({COCONEL}), we enquired on sleep disorders using two items in 4 repetitive cross-sectional surveys. {T}he first took place during the first week of the {F}rench confinement ({M}arch 31 to {A}pril 2; {N} = 1005 participants). {T}he second took place in the middle of this period ({A}pril 15-17; {N} = 1005). {T}he two last surveys were held at the end of the confinement ({M}ay 7-10; {N} = 2003) and one month after the end ({J}une 10-12; {N} = 1736). {U}sing a random constant, the mixed model took into account the longitudinal character of the last two waves (intra-individual correlations for individuals surveyed in waves 3 and 4). {R}esults: {T}he prevalence of sleep problems significantly decreased during the last weeks of the confinement, and this trend was confirmed one month after the end of confinement. {O}ne quarter of the population reported that their sleep was better one month after the end of the confinement. {S}leep improvement was reported more often by women and people aged less than 65. {S}uch improvement was less frequent among those who were still highly exposed to the pandemic's media coverage after the end of the confinement. {C}onclusion: {T}he possibility of recovering a good sleep largely depends on the type of sleep disorder. {T}he decrease in sleep problems occurred mainly among people with mild sleep problems during the confinement. {F}urther research is needed to assess the long-term effects of the {C}ovid-19 pandemic and its confinement period on sleep quality in the general population.},
