I’ve just recovered from covid and boy did it kick my ass! Did anyone else experience extreme insomnia whilst sick? I was only getting 2-3 hours sleep in a 24 hour period, no naps, absolutely exhausted, but completely unable to sleep. When I did finally get to sleep it was super light and unsatisfying and I couldn’t stay asleep for more than a few hours, it’s actually how I came across sofi as I was desperately googling how to sleep! I’m finally sleeping again (yay!) but I’ve never been more exhausted in my life! Fingers crossed it all passes soon! ---

Welcome to our treehouse @freya.coxx … it’s such a weird virus cause I had it twice and I behaved very differently … first time it knocked me out (not exactly the best sleep solution but sometimes you gotta look at the lining … might be tin)! The second time it was very different… how are you feeling now? So grateful to have you here with us and adding @alexwalkerjones in case you need any support with anything. Happy Sunday. 🙏 ---

I have Covid at the moment and I am much more weary and sleeping more. This is even though I don’t feel poorly with the virus. We are all different ---

I’m so pleased @freya.coxx! I found going out for walks in Hampstead Heath never where I live was the best way to get myself back up and get going … looks like you have every reason to be dragged to every park xx 🙏 ---

@freya.coxx - so sorry to hear you’ve been unwell, hope you are now on the mend and sending you bright blessings! I had covid 2 weeks ago and was a lot like Kaveh. Just knocked me out and i was so tired 😫 everytime i sat up i felt dizzy and had to lie down again. Lasted about 5 days like that, had a really bad continuous headache too. Feeling much better now, but have a bad cough. I didn’t even have a cough with the covid! But a doctor i was speaking to said it can linger for weeks afterwards. ---
