Summary
A Reddit user who posted in the r/cfs community took 10 mg of the sleep aid Belsomra for the first time and said a few hours later that it obviously had not worked. They described feeling nauseatingly tired but alert at the same time, tired and heavy-lidded but not sleepy, uncomfortable and uneasy while their brain stayed active.
