During lockdowns associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, individuals have experienced poor sleep quality and regularity, changes in lifestyle behaviours, heightened depression anxiety. However, inter-relationship relative strength of those behaviours on mental health outcomes is still unknown. We collected data between 12 May 15 June 2020 from 1048 South African adults (age: 32.76 ± 14.43 years; n = 767 female; 473 students) using an online questionnaire. Using structural equation modelling,...
