So sleepy all the time after Covid

[Anonymous]

I had Covid two weeks ago. I still have lingering sniffles and coughs, but what is really bothering me is how sleepy I feel during the day, even if I've gotten enough sleep at night. Has anyone experienced this? How long did it take you to get over it?

This is extremely normal, I experienced it myself and I've heard it from a ton of people. For me things started turning around at around 2 weeks, but I've heard as much as 2 months.

Oh man... 2 month is a long time. I'm having a hard time keeping up with work!

Hopefully you will recover completely! 2 weeks is still early days...of course, some never recover. Rest, rest, rest, in hopes of avoiding long covid.

Most people fully recover within three weeks. Any virus can leave you with a bit of inflammation that takes time to clear. Covid affects the nervous system in particular, so sleep and wakefulness can really get thrown off.
