Anyone who have/had Covid-19 struggle to sleep?

Hi all,

Thought I'll start a separate thread for this. I had a fever 10 weeks ago. The fever lasted 3 days but after the fever went I just simply struggled to sleep.

These days my sleeping is very poor, managing 4-7 hours on average of interrupted sleep. This is even with the help of melatonin.

I'm still fatigued and suffering some mild cold like symptoms after 10 weeks.

My trouble with sleeping is not helped by my anxiety. Doctor found I was extremely low on Vitamin D so now I'm taking supplements. The lack of Vitamin D may also have contributed to my sleeping problems and slow recovery.

Just wondering if anyone has the same sleeping problem with confirmed or suspected Covid-19? How are you coping?

What I mean is sleeping problems as a symptom of the virus or as an after-effect of the virus, not due to worry or anxiety.

Many thanks
