First time Covid, can’t sleep!!!!!!!

[Laurap39]

This is my first time of getting covid I’ve avoided it all this time! and it’s nothing like a bad cold.
luckily I’ve come out the other end of the aching and very high temperature now a head cold/cough with no smell or taste, the worse thing now is I can’t sleep!!!!
I presumed covid would exhaust me but since testing positive On Thursday I’ve been lucky if I’ve had 2 hours a night, I can’t fall asleep.
does anyone else have this issue?

I'm on day 6 and it's affected me the same,I was absolutely wired. I'm now completely exhausted 🙄

Hope you feel better soon.

Yes me! Had it twice now so presumably two different variants but both times I had no sleep whilst symptomatic.
I went back to work full of beans and colleagues said how tired they were for weeks. It's so strange how it affects people differently.

I’m glad I’m not the only one I hate just laying there counting down the hours to the alarm going off!!

Thank you I’m only on day 4 I thought the temperature was the worse thing now it’s definitely the sleep!

I had this first time around. I then ended up being a zombie staring into space as I was so tired, but couldn't sleep.

I have it right now and am managing to dose, but can't sleep that well for other reasons - I've got water retention during the day and hardly going to the toilet, but last time I had to get up four times as I really needed to go!

No one else I know has had insomnia with covid and they think I’m crazy I just can’t drift off

I had it for the first time end of July and was exactly the same.
Hope you’re on the mend soon.

The twice I’ve had Covid I’ve had insomnia. It was what made me test last time

No idea if I have covid but have a chest infection and every time I even slightly recline it's cough cough cough choke. Doing my nut in now. The most sleep I have had is 3 hours at a time. It can fuck off now.
