Has long covid affected your sleep?

I too have had a great disturbance. I can fall asleep but can't stay asleep. Terrible, vivid and disturbing dreams, nightmares. So real, it's hard to tell from reality. I have tried sleep aids, they don't help with sleep but cause increased dream intensity or anxiety. I have tried noises, Cpap, meds, biofeedback, sleep hygiene and teas. I hope you find the one that works for you. Going on since October 2021. I am tired.

Geez! That sounds crazy. If you’re not experiencing sick reactions to meds, you may want to research Jatamansi. It’s an OTC and calms the mind. I think that it’s related to valerian root.

I can’t get to sleep, not to bad once there but I’m retired I can sleep in to get my ‘8 hours’. By coincidence can relate to 2 previous posts: I too am diabetic with CBM… I had to switch off the alarm at night as it would go off as I was in much needed deep sleep, so adjusted my long acting insulin dose! One of my LC symptoms is hypertension ( with postural hypotension) and over 4 years put on 7 different hypotension drugs ( left on 5 till recently): one, bisoprolol gave me very vivid claustrophobic nightmares which meant I had to walk round the house, read or have TV on etc for some hours to work through anxiety….stopped those pills but being frightened of the dark stayed for many months!
