Getting Out of Bed With Long Covid and Exhaustion: A Low-Energy, Crash-Day Guide

On crash days with Long Covid or post-viral exhaustion, even the idea of getting out of bed can feel impossible. Your heart may race, your head may spin, and the smallest effort can trigger payback later. This guide breaks getting out of bed into tiny, low-energy steps. It explains what’s different about Long Covid compared to general back pain, and shows how to use a Snoozle Slide Sheet, pillows, and gravity so you can move with less strain, fewer symptom spikes, and better control. The aim is not to push you to do more, but to help you do the bare minimum more safely and efficiently, especially on your worst days.
