Abstract

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Impaired sleep is one of the core symptoms of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), yet the mechanisms and impact of sleep-related issues are poorly understood. Sleep dysfunctions for patients with ME/CFS include frequent napping, difficulties falling asleep, waking up early, and sleep reversal patterns (e.g., sleeping throughout the day and staying awake throughout the night). The current study focuses on sleep reversal for patients with ME/CFS.
