Signs of Lyme Disease
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
4. Sleeping Difficulties
Another fairly common symptom of Lyme disease is that the patient is likely to have difficulties getting a full night’s sleep. This is partly because of joint pain and other symptoms that make it difficult for them to relax. A rising and falling body temperature can also make it harder for the patient to sleep.
The patient will often fall asleep only to be woken again later at night. When they do wake, they will often be experiencing night sweats and maybe laying on cold, wet bedsheets. Difficulty sleeping can make it even harder for them to get through the following day, and it can contribute to other problems like fatigue.
