This week we are raising awareness about the debilitating symptoms of ME/CFS. Sleep dysfunction is a frustrating symptom which includes changes in sleep quality, quantity, and patterns. One article states, “unrefreshing sleep is used to describe a light sleep that, even after a full night, doesn't leave you rested. People with ME/CFS often report waking up exhausted and feeling as if they haven't slept at all—no matter how long they were actually asleep.”
Learn what unrefreshing sleep is, how it's tied to chronic fatigue syndrome, and what treatments are available.
Studies reveal a correlation between poor sleep quality and diminished quality of life in ME/CFS patients. Sleep disturbances intensify existing symptoms like fatigue and cognitive dysfunction.
