Sleep disturbances arising during ICU stay among ARDS (acute-respiratory-distress-syndrome) patients may continue long after discharge. This study is aimed at evaluating the sleep quality in severe-pulmonary-ARDS survivors. This was a prospective-observational study recruiting all eligible patients, who survived after invasive-ventilation for ARDS diagnosis. Subjects were evaluated just before discharge and at 6-weeks after discharge with Epworth Sleepiness Scale(ESS), Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire(RCSQ), Insomnia severity index(ISI), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and overnight level 1 polysomnography(PSG). Out of 54 non-COVID19 severe ARDS survivors, 23 were included and Scrub Typhus was the most common etiology. The mean PaO/FiO ratio and APACHE-II scores were 110. 90 +/- 21. 6 and 19. 04 +/- 5. 1, respectively. The mean duration of stay in the ICU was 14. 22 +/- 10. 5 days. The change in mean ESS and RCSQ scores at discharge and 6-weeks were statistically significant (p
