Common Symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Sleep Issues

For those with chronic fatigue syndrome, many sleep issues are common, especially unrefreshing sleep. They might wake up and feel like they have not slept at all, regardless of how long they slept. Insomnia might also occur, with difficulty staying asleep or falling asleep. Over time, this leads to sleep deprivation, which can worsen your symptoms and slow down recovery from chronic fatigue syndrome. Ideally, a healthy adult should sleep at least 8 to 9 hours per day.
