Some people who have had COVID experience long-term problems that can last for months or even years—a condition known as long COVID.

While there is no clear number, it is estimated that anywhere between 7 to 23 million Americans have developed long COVID, according to the U.S.

The most common general symptoms reported by people who experience post-COVID conditions include tiredness and fatigue that interferes with daily life, symptoms that get worse after physical or mental effort, and fever.

These are just some of the symptoms that could mean you're suffering from long COVID.

The trouble with sleeping comes from the fact that COVID can affect an individual's circadian rhythm, Pena told Nexstar.

"Circadian rhythm, the name given to your body's 24-hour internal clock, controls your body's sleep-wake cycle," the experts at the clinic explain.

"There is no single test for post-COVID conditions," the agency explains.

"While most people with post-COVID conditions have evidence of infection or COVID-19 illness, in some cases, a person with post-COVID conditions may not have tested positive for the virus or known they were infected.".

"Your healthcare provider considers a diagnosis of post-COVID conditions based on your health history, including if you had a diagnosis of COVID-19 either by a positive test or by symptoms or exposure, as well as doing a health examination," the agency says.
