My doctor said Lyme takes away your stage 3 and stage 4 sleep. This would explain why even after 6 hours of sleep, I feel the same as when I went to bed.

Interestingly, although my first round of abx went terrrible- (details in another post)- it is the only night in the last 6 months that I felt I got a refreshing sleep. I don't think I woke up or moved once all night.

Your doctor is correct. Something else that I have found while on antibiotics is that I don't have to get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom.

what antibiotics are you taking ?

I am on Amoxicillin and Clarithromycin. Before antibiotics, I was only "half-sleeping". Any sound such as the dog walking downstairs would wake me up. If the night was stormy I knew for sure that the next day I would be miserable. Now that I am on antibiotics, I noticed that I have a deeper sleep. I have even started to have dreams. Waking up and seeing that it is almost morning makes me get a big smile because it means that I had a good night sleep.

Thanks Healing98 - How long after you took the antibiotics did you see the effect ? I am having sleep issues as well.

I use white noise, like a fan in the background, to assist with my sleeping and it works a treat for me to sleep deeply.
