Hi,
Something always bothered me about CFS/ME was the strange clock pattern my energy cycle nearly always follows.
A complete zombie upon wakening...(I am not talking the type thats hard to get up.....the type that you feel half human...overwhelming awful)....with marginal improvement during day....I know many are like this on the forum.
I have a normal cortisol pattern that is raised morning and falls in evening....so not inverted as above would suggest.
Surely if CFS was a viral/ bacterial origin it shouldnt follow a circadian rhythm.?
I think this holds large clues to what happens in our body during the sleep cycle that is greatly overlooked.
We must be only humans on planet where sleep is detrimental.
I have laid in bed for nights wide awake and have been X10 better the next day than I would have if I had slept....(normal without sleep type tiredness obviously)
