11. When the body is affected by an infection or disease like viral meningitis
The confusion can spread throughout the body. Pain, confusion, and fever will likely be more severe in the evening and early morning. Viral meningitis can affect your sleep in a variety of ways.
In general, persistent fatigue is accompanied by a feeling of confusion and this can be independent of the amount of sleep you’ve been getting. Rest disturbances can have a variety of different structures. Some patients will rest more than usual, while others might find themselves unable to rest due to different symptoms related viral meningitis.
As this is a very diverse indication that can be understood in so many different ways, any sudden changes to your resting patterns should be taken as a reason to meet with your primary care physician.
