 [ Symptoms ] can genital herpes cause chronic insomnia  i have been so extremely sleepy for the past few years and while i am somewhat stressed i do not think stress can have this much damage in my life i am even super sleepy when i do not have school i e summer breaks i am pretty sure i have genital herpes based on other symptoms but could this life crippling insomnia be caused by genital herpes   could treating my genital herpes help my sleep improve a lot  any input would be greatly appreciated [ Disease ] actually insomnia is not the proper word my trouble is mostly getting a good quality of sleep rather than falling asleep i do not have too much trouble falling asleep but i do not drift away too easily either looking back my super bad quality of sleep started after i received oral sex from someone who had oral herpes i feel so stupid because it did not cross my mind that not having symptoms does not mean that i can not contract the virus
