She soon found that without a bottle of wine, her anxiety would become so unbearable that she could not fall asleep.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But as the war dragged on, Ms. Tsarenko said, her anxiety got worse and she became increasingly irritable. The wine stopped helping. It was only when she tried sleeping pills and antidepressants that she was able to get some relief.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI felt like angels were taking me to sleep,\u201d said Ms. Tsarenko, who lives in the eastern city of Dnipro.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has killed thousands of people and wounded tens of thousands more. But the toll is not just physical: Three years of war have wrought immense psychological harm. Now sleep deprivation has become a national health crisis in Ukraine, experts and psychologists say, citing near-nightly drone attacks as a key driver.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In towns and cities across the country each night, Ukrainians lie awake in bed, listening and waiting for the sounds of Russian drones buzzing like lawn mowers in the sky, then for the explosions. Drone strikes have only intensified since U.S.-mediated peace talks began, according to Ukrainian officials. And Russia appears to be increasingly targeting urban areas, as with a huge and deadly strike in Kyiv on Thursday, adding to civilians\u2019 anxiety and causing more sleepless nights.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Chronic sleep deprivation has a profound impact on psychological well-being, according to experts. Sometimes referred to as \u201csleep debt,\u201d it can cause anxiety and irritability, along with depression and other more severe mental health concerns, they say.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The World Health Organization said in February that <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/europe\/news\/item\/24-02-2025-three-years-of-war-rising-demand-for-mental-health-support-trauma-care-and-rehabilitation\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">nearly half of Ukrainians<\/a> reported having mental health concerns. And sales of antidepressants surged by 46 percent in Ukraine last year, according to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/liki24.com\/uk\/articles\/yaki-liky-kupuyut-ukrayintsi-u-2024\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">an analysis of its own trade<\/a> by Liki24.com, a major drug distributor in the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It is impossible to know how much of that is directly linked to sleep deprivation, and Ukrainians have plenty of reasons to be anxious, from fears about friends or relatives at the front, to uncertainty about how and when the war will end. But sleep deprivation only adds to the toll, experts and doctors in Ukraine said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Davyd Shcherbyna, a psychiatrist and co-founder of a chain of medical clinics in Kyiv, said that half of his patients had sleep disorders and that many of those who seek assistance for it were also suffering from depression.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe very first thing a person loses under stress is sleep,\u201d he said, adding that he found mothers particularly difficult to treat. Some resist medication, he said, out of fear that they would not wake up for air-raid alarms and therefore fail to take children to a shelter in the event of an attack.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Those air-raid alarms themselves have a negative affect on mental health because they disrupt the natural sleep cycle, according to Sofiya Vlokh, a psychiatrist and researcher at Lviv National Medical University in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The World Health Organization said in February that <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/europe\/news\/item\/24-02-2025-three-years-of-war-rising-demand-for-mental-health-support-trauma-care-and-rehabilitation\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">nearly half of Ukrainians<\/a> reported having mental health concerns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cMany Ukrainians are suffering,\u201d Ms. Vlokh said. She stressed that sleep deprivation was a concern not only because it can cause severe mental health disorders but also because, even under the best of circumstances, it can affect overall well-being and productivity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That rings true for Tetyana Horobchenko, 41, who lives near a Ukrainian air base in Vasylkiv, near Kyiv, that is frequently targeted by Russian drones and missiles. She hides in the bathroom with her husband, cat and dog during attacks \u2014 then struggles to go back to sleep when they end. Instead, she said, she stays up scrolling through the news on her phone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cSometimes it feels like the lack of sleep doesn\u2019t affect me, but when I compare myself to the other version of myself that had enough sleep, I see that we are different people,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Drones, of course, are not the only cause of anxiety. In Lviv, in western Ukraine, where air-raid alarms are less frequent, Volodymyr Behlov, 38, said fears about the future kept him awake at night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI felt that I lost tomorrow,\u201d said Mr. Behlov, who manages cultural events. Those worries, he said, led him to get a prescription for the antidepressants that have helped him sleep.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But pills do not always work, nor are they an option for everyone. Hanna Lesiuk, 50, who lives on the outskirts of Kyiv, said that she took antidepressants but still became physically ill each time she heard explosions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Others say they use alternative tactics to feel safer or to coax themselves to sleep. Some bed down in hallways, away from windows. In the Vinnytsia region of central Ukraine, Zoya Zhuk, 41, wraps herself in a 15-pound weighted blanket. In western Ukraine, Maria Kysil, 33, places a medical kit with a tourniquet on her bedside table.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In Kyiv, Valentyn Maidaniuk, a 26-year-old who works at an aviation university, said that he tried to reason it out. \u201cWhen I can\u2019t sleep, I often think about how strong my building is,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Maryna Hrudiy, 39, a consultant on psychological health, adopted a physical change along with a prescription for antidepressants. She used to lie awake, scared that a strike would bury her 6-year-old daughter under rubble in a different room. Now she takes pills and shares a bed with her.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Children are not immune to stress or sleeplessness either. Oksana Khodak, 45, was prescribed sedatives when her anxiety levels became unbearable. Then she found out that Yaroslava, her 14-year-old daughter, had also been lying awake at night and noticed that the teenager\u2019s hands would tremble. Now Yaroslava, too, takes sleeping pills and anti-anxiety medication.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI thought I was handling it well with my daughter, as we often talk, and if it\u2019s a scary night, I hug her,\u201d said Ms. Khodak, who lives in Zaporizhzhia, in southern Ukraine. Realizing that Yaroslava was also struggling so much psychologically, she added, \u201cjust tore me apart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Although it was exhaustion that drove Olena Churanova, 37, to see a psychiatrist \u2014 \u201cI started feeling like I no longer cared if a drone would hit my flat,\u201d she said \u2014 medication can\u2019t change the reality of the war.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cOverall,\u201d she said, \u201cit scares me that all this became our routine: Air sirens, sleeping in the corridor, antidepressants.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Nataliia Novosolova<!-- --> contributed reporting from Kyiv; and <!-- -->Yurii Shyvala<!-- --> from Lviv, Ukraine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the early days of the war, Sofia Tsarenko, 22, would drink with friends in Ukraine to relax.
