Still struggling
to sleep
after having COVID-19?
You're not alone. If you've had COVID and now have trouble falling or staying asleep or staying awake throughout the day,
you may qualify for the
Recover Sleep Study.
This NIH-supported research study lasts 3 to 4 months. Participants will be paid for their time. Help researchers understand long COVID and take steps toward better sleep.

Do you have sleep problems or daytime sleepiness after COVID?
Researchers are studying possible treatments for adults who have Long COVID, which is when a person has symptoms months after getting COVID. We want to find possible treatments to improve sleep quality and daily functioning for people who have Long COVID.
You may be a good fit for this study if:
- You are an adult who had COVID
- You do not have an active COVID infection
- You still have 1 or more of these symptoms:
- Problems falling asleep or staying asleep
- Poor sleep quality
- Trouble staying awake or feeling very tired during the day
- Insomnia or problems with your sleep-wake schedule
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
What to expect
If you decide to take part, your participation should last about 3 to 4 months. During that time, you will:
- Visit the clinic 2 to 3 times to complete surveys, lab tests, and tests of attention and thinking speed
- Use a daily study intervention, such as a study drug, device, or other approach, provided at no cost
- Wear a device to track your activity patterns and/or light exposure
- Complete a sleep/activity log at home
- Answer follow-up surveys
- Be paid for your time
