I feel exactly the same. I am so exhausted when I go to bed, as I have severe fatigue, then I only sleep for two hours then I wake suddenly. I may doze off for an hour or so. But I only get a total of 3-5 hours of broken sleep a night. Nothing seems to help. Its very frustrating, since I feel my fatigue cant improve if I'm not getting restorative sleep.
It takes a lot of energy to fight this thing off. I feel my insomnia is 100% a long haul symptom because I was falling asleep & staying asleep just fine prior to this. Doctors are conservative about medications for sleep & tell you, this will not be prescribed long term, however long haul can last many months up to a year I have heard. I did a sleep study appointment & was told I do not have sleep apnea, sleep in a dark room, take a hot bath before bed & don’t use electronics several hours before bed.
