Episode 123 - How to Sleep Better: Essential Tips for Chronic Illness Recovery

The Real Reason Sleep feels so hard with M.E/CFS

Have you ever wondered why sleep feels so impossible, no matter how tired you are?

It’s not your fault. Most people battling chronic fatigue syndrome hear the same advice:
“Just rest more.”
“Take a pill.”
“Relax—it’s all in your head.”

But we both know it’s not that simple.

Resting too much leaves you restless. Overdoing it during the day leaves you wired. And all those supplements sitting in your cupboard? They’re not fixing the problem.

In this week’s podcast, I share:

• 10 tips for restful, restorative sleep—no supplements needed.
• How your daily habits might be sabotaging your nights.
• The secret to calming your body and mind for deeper sleep.

If you’ve felt stuck in a cycle of exhaustion, this episode might give you the clarity and relief you’ve been looking for.

The truth is, better sleep isn’t about magic cures or shortcuts. It’s about creating habits that actually work for you.
