Has anyone been suffering with post Covid severe insomnia?
Sleep Health | Last Active: Sep 21 7:18pm | Replies (51)Comment receiving replies
Still can’t sleep. Had sleep study done home study. No conclusive results. Here’s my symptoms.
1. Insomnia severe( before Covid slept 8-9 hours)
2. Extreme hair loss ( had lots of hair)
3. Extreme weight loss
4. No taste
5. No appetite
My doctors are all baffled and just try to give me drugs.
No sleep, causing depression. Have a great therapist with CBT no luck. Turning into Naomi Judd, I mean the part where nothing worked for her.
What’s a girl to do?

I have the exact same symptoms. It's been a nightmare
Trying to wean off them now
Hi @cmd, I'm sorry that your COVID related insomnia has not improved despite seeking medical care, medications, and CBT. I know many members have offered some really valuable tips like CBD, yoga, meditation and other helpful tips in the other insomnia discussions, like these ones:
- Insomnia. Nothing seems to help. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/josephene-i-am-having-terrible-insomnia-as-well-nothing-seems-to-help/
It sounds like your insomnia started with COVID. I can imagine that it is having a vicious cycle causing depression like symptoms. For that reason, I merged the discussion you started today back to the discussion you started earlier about COVID-related insomnia.
Have you sought the help of a specialized sleep clinic?
@wendys3, is your insomnia related to long COVID?
I am in the same boat. I hate this. I want my old life back. I feel so foolish for complaining about little things. Health is absolutely everything.

BTW doctors only give me benzos and we all know how that can turn out!
