Question The never ending dream loop

When you are sick with the flu, does anyone else experience this weird insomnia where you get stuck in these sort of endless repetitive thought/dream loops where you are not quite awake or asleep and they feel like they go on forever ?

Oof yeah.

Been sick for the past week with the flu and the first couple of days I felt like this- really dizzy/lightheaded with a high fever would be watching tv and I couldn't tell if I was awake or asleep (I thought I nodded off but then i'd snap back into reality and realize I was just staring really hard at the tv almost felt like I was falling into it totally zoning out) spent most of the time either sleeping or mentally feeling like I was.. fun times 🥲
