Ok so I have had mono for about 7 days now and I have just started college. Currently it is 2:24 am and I cannot sleep at all and I do not know what to do. I am just lying here and looking at the ceiling and no matter what I do I just cant get tired or fall asleep.

Hi Kenzie,
when I first came down with it, I didn't sleep for days, then that became intermittent and now I sleep very badly every night. I've been sick for almost 5 months and now also find it utterly impossible to sleep in the day without being heavily medicated. The cruel thing is that this thing is supposed to make you tired and sleepy. I wish I could sleep though it, but the opposite has happened to me. I get around 5 hrs of bad sleep in 24. I can't ever sleep past 4 am and sometimes I'm so ill I dont sleep at all.

Hi Kenzie,
I am not sure why it does this, the first time I had it I was exhausted, the second time it was hard to sleep, Just the last few days I am getting better sleep, hopefully this passes quickly for you.
If you nap do it early in the day.
