    Hello kullboys,

    Sorry to hear you’ve got a dose of the insomnia side effect. It’s about a 1 in 5 problem.

    You know those cooking shows where they go “Here’s one I prepared earlier”?

    Well… here’s one I prepared earlier!

    I hear you kullboys – I used to wake up like clockwork at 2 to 3 am and not be able to get back to sleep. I did try to not stress too much by reading (great for getting through a reading list) but it can make you feel like crap the next day.

    I used some of the practical tips provided by Dr James below to optimise my potential for sleep (dark, quiet room, no caffeine after midday, exercise, no screens before bed etc.). I know it doesn’t help at the moment but it does get better along with many other health/body/mind related issues once you have finished treatment and the virus has gone.

    Hi there Kullboys I too had insomnia. It was most annoying towards the end of the 12 week Harvoni tx I had over two years ago now. So annoying! However I agree with Coral and I used meditation (I practice TM) and I do exercise. Both of these relaxed me and even if I wasn’t getting a full nights sleep my mind and body were peaceful and the meditation diminished my concerns.
    I hope your sleep improves it is annoying I agree, but being HCV free is fabulous!!
