I can relate. I'm wearing an antigraphy watch for four more days as part of my sleep study. I have a video appt with my sleep Dr in two weeks. If she isn't willing to prescribe something to help me sleep, I don't know what I'll do. Every day is just a struggle to make it through as my body and mind are totally exhausted. I'm don't like to take medications but I'm desperate for sleep and getting my life back to some degree of normal. It's not anxiety keeping me awake as I'm so tired when I go to bed but my body just won't sleep, except for short periods of light 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.

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.
