Can't sleep with fever?

Question

Since yesterday, I've had a fever, and I just can't seem to get any sleep. My body aches, and I feel so restless and hot. What can I do to feel more comfortable and maybe get some rest?

With my PCOS, my body's immunity is already a bit unpredictable, so running a fever always makes me nervous. I usually just try to stay hydrated with coconut water or warm soups and avoid heavy foods. Just be gentle with yourself and consult your doc if you feel too weak.

Fever me neend aana is actually so difficult, yaar. Body completely aches and the temperature just keeps you tossing and turning. Try putting a damp cloth on your forehead and drink some warm water, but take a doctor's advice if it doesn't go down.

Beta, when the body fights an infection, the temperature rises and restlessness is bound to happen. Don't force yourself to sleep; just rest quietly and keep sipping warm water. A sponge bath with room-temperature water helps bring the fever down nicely so you can rest.

Please be very careful with this. Last year I ignored a high fever and struggled to sleep, thinking it was a normal viral, but it turned into severe pneumonia. If your fever is very high or you feel chest discomfort or breathing trouble, please go to a hospital immediately.

Dekho, fever simply means your body is fighting something, so obviously sleep will be disturbed. Stop staring at your phone in the dark, it will only give you a headache. If the temperature is touching 102 or more, stop waiting and go see a doctor right now.
