Summary
A person with ME/CFS who slept more than 10 hours a night plus an hour during the day. Starting pacing gradually reduced their sleep need to 8 hours a night. They tried other unnamed approaches whose practitioners promised a quick recovery, but say they did not get better, and warned others to be careful of such promises and of feeling depressed when recovery doesn't happen.
