Comment: I'm not convinced exercising helps sleep in ME/CFS but that is only one of many suggestions

@tomkindlon @mecfs I'd love to see sleep tips some day for people with more severe ME/CFS who are bedbound and can't either exercise or take hot baths/sauna.

@Cetraria didn't read article but when sleepless I try yoga nidra, guided sleep meditation or listening to audiobook. Last two you have to be able to tolerate some sound and find voice you like.

@Frieke72 @tomkindlon @mecfs I definitely need to try yoga nidra. I used to get a lot of mileage out of the sleep stories on the calm app. I might need to revisit that. I also like the idea of audio books at a lower speed, I wasn't aware that was an option.

There are also more 'esoteric' yogi esp. the indian ones.

@Cetraria @Frieke72 @mecfs 40 minutes sometimes feel overwhelming to me, so I collected a number of super short Yoga Nidras:

@gravitation Great you found some that work for you! It's a bit of a search.

I tend to have a hard time relaxing so need at least 20minutes 😊
