Pretty sure I’ll know everyone’s answer but just looking for some discussion..

When is lymies don’t get enough sleep our brain fog is obviously worse right? I notice if I sleep well my brain fog tends to be held at bay but if I get any less than 7 hours I feel completely spacey and almost in a dream like state the following day.

Thoughts?

Totally agree. Lack of sleep can be very detrimental in many other ways, affect immune function, digestion, adrenals, stress levels, cell recovery... so. many. problems.

My husband has been out of town all week and I've been going to bed an hour early. This has actually helped quite a bit. I feel more rested during the day. 9pm instead of 10pm or 11pm - he likes to talk. I'm up at the crack of dawn, but I feel a lot better. Might want to give it a try. I'm still having the usual symptoms, but oddly, my energy is a little better.

Have you tried dapsone with stevia, that anti-persister cell antbiotic cleared up a lot of my brain fog. Even at just 25mg a day and high doses of stevia liquid underneath the tongue.

This drug is helping a lot of patients reach remission through Doctor Horrowitz's practice.

Ever try minocycline or roxithromycin, both shown to pass the blood brain barrier pretty good. Remember microbiologist Tom Greier stating roxithromycin helped his neuro lyme a lot!

If you're willing, cannabis in rick simpson syringe form, vaping or even just smoking it will help you sleep. CBD oil, which is legal now in all 50 states may calm your nerves and help you sleep better. Just make sure you use a quality company, not all of it is created the same.

Lack of DEEP SLEEP causes many throughout mind/body problems.......yes brain fog being one of them.

I noticed the sleep quality not length of time to be the factor. Long but shallow/light sleep did make symptoms much better and made grogginess worse in my case.

With active lyme I only got about 3 hrs of light sleep a night, the rest was wide awake.

When I started sleeping better 10-11 hrs of uninterrupted sleep was possible with no alarm.

Now my brain feels best at 7-8 hrs, body aches are best at 6 hrs. I used to wake from body aches too.
