      Hi, I’ve had 4 hours of sleep in the last 72 hours after catching covid and I feel my body shutting down by the second. I am desperately trying to sleep but even with how fatigued I am I cannot. I took 2 Advil pm’s and tried to nap but ended up in this weird tug of war world where I was saying sleep and my body was saying no. I am going to die? Can this be a fatal issue? I’m so scared please help I feel like im losing my mind

        You’re not going to die! You’re just not sleeping. You WILL sleep, trust me. Many folks have not had ANY sleep in 72 hours. At least you had some. A plethora of people on this forum, and around the world have had chronic insomnia for YEARS! Fortunately I only had it for two and a half months. I can relate, as many others here can also. I don’t know what part covid may have on your sleep issue however I’d imagine when covid passes so will your sleeplessness.

        I’d bet dollars to donuts that EVERYONE who has suffered with chronic insomnia felt as if they were loosing their mind and were going to die. Yes, it’s that nasty — but far from fatal. I’ve suffered an ‘almost’ fatal heart attack and quad bypass surgery with all the trimmings over ten years ago. The chronic insomnia I suffered through just recently felt worse! Imagine that.

        Long story short if your insomnia continues after, or well after you’re over covid then I’d seriously suggest you seek out CBT-I. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia. You don’t have to ‘seek’ far. It’s right here. The Insomnia Coach. I am a retired Hypnotherapist and advanced Emotional Freedom Practitioner and none of that worked for me. CBT-I starting working within two weeks of the two month course. Now I get between 6-8 hours of restful sleep up from 1-4 of tossing, turning, getting up, down, round and round. You know what I’m talking about.

        Whatever you do or don’t do eventually you WILL sleep. Just makes life better/easier if you nip it in the bud sooner than later. Also I believe that Martin, The Insomnia Coach offers a complete money back guarantee if you FOLLOW the program and fail to get any results. Can’t beat that with a stick!

        Good luck with your challenge! ;-))

          Nah you won’t die from not sleeping due to severe anxiety. Sleep and anxiety can happen at the same time. Even if you wanted to stay up for days, your body just won’t let it, at some point you will crash to sleep
