ME/CFS 18 years now after EBV. I feel so ill beyond words. Mornings are especially barbaric😔😐 Trying to survive alone and older with financial issues too😐

What do you recommend if a person has chronic insomnia (sleeping 3 hours night) ?

[@SteveDenver09]

Yoga nidra and single nostril breathing have been helpful for me now. For a time, I also went on Diazepam. I fought going on it for a long time but eventually gave in and was glad I did. Sleepless nights are brutal and can add up. I feel for ya but keep trying until you find something that works for you🙏🏼

His is where I’m at, and very trial and error

[@litrugia]

I have monthly cyclic CFS. Acceptance is so hard.

Did your sweet spot eventually grow or did you learn to live within your sweet spot? Example, you used to be able to run regularly at a 8-9 but now live in a 5-7. I hope that makes sense! Thanks

Great question!! The sweet spot absolutely grows with you as you progress! So if your 5-7 got you 1 mile previously, your 5-7 will get you to 5 miles in the future +

Eventually, you could also experiment with upping the intensity for short durations as well, EG to an 8. But for the purpose of recovery, best stay between 4-6 / 5-7
