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.

Did you ever get a prescription for a sleep med, even short term? I also don't have sleep apnea or restless legs and slept fine before Covid. It's been just about a year now and I'm not seeing any improvement. I do all the recommended things for sleep and have had extensive blood work and check ups and Drs never find any physical reason for my insomnia. So frustrating.
