So it’s been 12 days since I first started having symptoms. Main symptoms were 2-3 days of fever and a cough chest & nasal congestion. Mostly feeling fine at this point, but the symptom that’s lingered the longest has been fatigue and needing lots of sleep.

As recently as 2 days ago, any time I’d try to wake up after getting any less than 10 or 11 hours of sleep, I’d have body aches, especially in my legs. I’d go back to sleep for another 1-3 hours and then wake up feeling fine.

That’s mostly gone away, but what it’s been replaced with is feeling nauseous in the evenings. The past 2 nights around 9 or 10pm I’ve been hit with a huge wave of nausea. Last night it was so bad I thought I’d gotten food poisoning. Tonight more mild but still there. This seems to me to be connected to the sleep issue, as it kicks in after I’ve been awake for 13 or 14 hours (I also just started drinking caffeine again, which I think I might cut back on to see if that helps)

Has anyone else experienced this?? Anything you’ve found that helps? Should I be arranging my schedule to continue getting 10-12 hours of sleep a night? I’ve read accounts that lack of rest might be a factor in developing long COVID symptoms, and I definitely don’t want this to be a lasting issue.
