Lyme Disease — 20 Signs To Watch For

13. Sleep Disturbances

Sleep disturbances are a common complaint of people with Lyme disease. A recent study found that patients with an acute Lyme disease infection reported poorer sleep and experienced more significant daytime dysfunction, including general sleepiness while driving, eating, or socializing.

In this study, pain played a role in how well participants slept, indicating that the interplay of sleep, pain, and fatigue may be an important part of managing Lyme disease, but more studies are needed.
