This is entirely normal. Any infection can increase fatigue or raise sleep requirements.

It’s not unusual any time someone has an active infection to feel fatigued. You should notice, however, that as your infection comes under control, your fatigue shoud also. If you don’t feel that that is happening, or if you are having any new symptoms, you should return to your doctor. Good luck.
