Summary
Summit 10947 found pacing difficult and personal. Their best rest was lying down for 20 minutes of calming meditation, with phone use not counting as rest, and they aimed for at least one proper rest each day. Their ME specialist advised proactive rest in short bursts. They also took midday deep rest or naps, which they said improved their sleep and left them less exhausted and less wired at night.

napping actually helps my sleep, because it lets me be less exhausted over all, and I reach night time less wired and full of adrenaline.
