At last they have found their true calling.

Lean on the counter, definitely. In the early days of ME I carried on having a couple of friends round to play darts in my cellar. I quickly learnt that sitting down and standing up again between turns exhausted me, leaning against the wall in the corner between turns was definitely the lesser...

In Germany, there are also: - Fatigatio e.V. https://www.fatigatio.de/ - Lost Voices Foundation https://lost-voices-stiftung.org/ - Diverse Long Covid Organizations -- the largest I think is: Long Covid Deutschland https://longcoviddeutschland.org/

I don't know why they think it's an appropriate thing to have on a sleep disorders website, people like me will be up all night trying to beat their high score.

I took the test last night around midnight, I'm a night owl. I was tired, but not ME tired. Thought I'd compare with midday, and managed a little better, but I think that's just because of practise, dogged determination and testosterone fuelled ambition: Results: Test Duration= 124 seconds...
