Zilch on my end![]()
I wish we understood how ME screws up sleep, even if we have no way to treat it.It's probably like asking "anybody have a cure for ME/CFS?"
Like the title says, has anybody ever found anything that makes the mornings a little easier?

You can try it but i personally doubt it.The only theory I've heard sort of makes sense - that the brain isn't getting rid of toxins during sleep like it should.
Makes me wonder about such things as Perrin's technique or lymph massage which I never really took seriously.
I am unfamiliar with the urea problem.I would suspect its milling about in our Wired But Tired chemisty- the urea problem. And then probably some brain stem misfirings.

It's become better in my case, by quite a bit. But I've changed so many things in the recent two months that I can't tell for sure what it is. What I do think helps, though, is Melatonin. Depending on your baseline, normal melatonin or the sustained one might be better.
Do you also feel the most air hunger in the morning, as soon as you try to stand up?
I think that one problem with the 'unrefreshing sleep' symptom is that it actually has nothing to do with sleep. It's just a fatigue-like symptom that isn't reduced by sleep. In other words, if you managed to get a full night of top-quality sleep ... you'd still wake up feeling 'unrefreshed'.
Instead of looking for treatments targeted at improving sleep, you might be better off trying to find something that reduces the 'fatigue-like' feeling.
Proline makes me wake up feeling less refreshed, but I haven't found anything that does the opposite.
I take it to normalize my sleep pattern a bit and it helps sleep initiation a bit but beyond that does not improve sleep quality in the slightest.It's become better in my case, by quite a bit.

No such benefit in my caseI also have issues falling to sleep and that my sleep isn't deep enough. This is where melatonin helps. It hasn't helped me with how I feel in the morning.
