COVID-19, an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, has negatively affected almost every country in the world, with consequences going far beyond those of the disease itself. Some pandemic-related symptoms, such as anxiety, fear, worry, and traumatic stress, have had an impact on mental health and are known to be significant causes of nightmares. It has been demonstrated that people with frequent nightmares have a higher risk of suicide, especially when the nightmares are combined with depression. Many countries have reported COVID-19-related suicides. In particular, patients with previous psychiatric disorders may present a worsening of symptoms, becoming more vulnerable to suicide attempts during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our aim is to call attention to the possible impact that an increase in nightmares during the pandemic may have in respect of suicide and the need to give more focus on the triad of sleep, mental health, and suicide, factors that might be more related than we thought prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

噩梦和 COVID-19：自杀企图可能增加。

COVID-19 是一种由 SARS-CoV-2 引起的传染病，已经对世界上几乎每个国家产生了负面影响，其后果远远超出了疾病本身。一些与流行病相关的症状，如焦虑、恐惧、担忧和创伤性压力，对心理健康产生了影响，并且众所周知是噩梦的重要原因。已经证明，经常做噩梦的人自杀的风险更高，尤其是当噩梦与抑郁症相结合时。许多国家报告了与 COVID-19 相关的自杀事件。特别是，以前患有精神疾病的患者可能会出现症状恶化，在 COVID-19 大流行期间更容易出现自杀企图。我们的目的是提醒人们注意大流行期间噩梦的增加可能对自杀产生的影响，以及需要更多地关注睡眠、心理健康和自杀这三个因素，这些因素可能比其他因素更相关。我们认为在 COVID-19 大流行之前。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）
