For many years, people who have complained about chronic fatigue were labeled as lazy or hypochondriacs. But now, chronic fatigue syndrome or CFS is getting its due attention nowadays, partly due to the new research being carried out about its causes and treatments. Now research reveals that the CFS sufferers share certain physical conditions, especially with regards to the blood supply to the brain. This has made people reveal that CFS is real and curable.

The chronic fatigue syndrome sufferers have one or more of the following symptoms: forever lacking in energy, non-refreshing sleep, sore throat, tender lymph nodes, achy joints, problems in concentration and short-term memory, and malaise after exertion. After diagnosis, many people can recover in a short time but for others it can last lifelong.

Some simple steps to help tide over CFS are: using modern bedding materials like memory foam and altering the eating patterns close to sleeping time. Eating a controlled diet and following a structured exercise regimen have been shown to alleviate the symptoms of CFS. But always consult your doctor before attempting to start any treatment.

CFS is accompanied by insomnia and non-refreshing sleep. Nobody knows the reason behind insomnia, but a part of the cause could be due to soreness of muscle and joint. When a person sleeps on a normal mattress, his body rests on certain pressure points. As he shifts his position, he may rest on certain tender areas, and this can rouse them up from the deep sleep. The pressure on these areas has given rise to new type of bedding materials like memory foam, which is used in memory foam mattress. This goes a long way in reducing or eliminating the sleep disruptions.

We need deep or REM stage sleep, but if the sleep is continuously disrupted, the brain does not get adequate time to reach this crucial stage. As a result, the person with CFS may sleep for the total 8 hours without going in the deep sleep stage. As a result, they are not completely rested. Memory foam mattress has been shown to help the CFS sufferers.

Since the primary causes of CFS are unknown, it is important to treat each symptom separately. It is important for the CFS sufferer to concentrate on getting a good night’s sleep. He should keep regular bedtimes, which will have a tremendous effect on the quality of sleep. Avoid alcohol and nicotine as well as a large, heavy meal before going to bed. Opt for a comfortable sleeping system. Get a brand new inner spring mattress or go for alternative bedding materials like memory foam. These will go a long way in decreasing the pressure points and disruption of sleep.
