The variant is called EG.5 and is a descendant of Omicron.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that EG.5 accounted for roughly 17.3 per cent β€” or one in six β€” of new COVID-19 cases in the U.S. in the past two weeks.

You know I really wish I hadn't caught COVID at some point and lost the ability to sleep properly at some point.

Welcome to long covid, where your body has adrenaline attacks at random points in the middle of the night.

Not downplaying what you're going through but that sounds like anxiety attacks. But I'm no doctor so what do I know.

That's so weird though. Did you get any kind of diagnosis from a doctor? Have you tried any medication?

Long COVID. It's one of the neurological problems left over.
