Has anyone been suffering with post Covid severe insomnia?

I caught covid and never took the vaccine. It did nothing to my sleep though I've had issues with poor sleep my entire life. I know that viruses cause sleep issues though. The only advice is to try to stay away from sleep aids if at all possible and get sunlight early in the day and try reading and/or meditation. Try not to sleep and the brain says "I want to sleep". Try to sleep and the brains says "not".

Thank you for the note and it is so true. Try to sleep and you can’t, sleep comes at you when you need it and it just happens. I like the way you put it. I just received a CPAP and have started therapy for sleep with it. It is taking some time to get used to wearing a mask and trusting the machine to ramp up pressure when needed. I’ve found it to be very good and anxiety around using the mask and equipment did gone. I just experienced four hours of sleep with the mask on and it is refreshing not to get woken up by gasping for air. I will stick with it and hopefully kick the sleep aid medications to the side. One variable change at a time and so far all steps have been positive albeit slow to achieve. I wish everyone out there peaceful sleep. I’ll keep you posted on my progress. 😊
