Abstract
Non‐restorative sleep is a hallmark symptom of chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis. However, little is known about self‐reported sleep disturbances in these subjects. This study aimed to assess the self‐reported sleep quality and its impact on quality of life in a Spanish community‐based chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis cohort. A prospective cross‐sectional cohort study was conducted in 1,455 Spanish chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis patients.

Sleep quality, fatigue, pain, functional capacity impairment, psychopathological status, anxiety/depression and health‐related quality of life were assessed using validated subjective measures. The frequencies of muscular, cognitive, neurological, autonomic and immunological symptom clusters were above 80%. High scores were recorded for pain, fatigue, psychopathological status, anxiety/depression, and low scores for functional capacity and quality of life, all of which correlated significantly (all p < 0.01) with quality of sleep as measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Multivariate regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age and gender, the pain intensity (odds ratio, 1.11; p <0.05), psychopathological status (odds ratio, 1.85; p < 0.001), fibromyalgia (odds ratio, 1.39; p < 0.05), severe autonomic dysfunction (odds ratio, 1.72; p < 0.05), poor functional capacity (odds ratio, 0.98; p < 0.05) and quality of life (odds ratio, 0.96; both p < 0.001) were significantly associated with poor sleep quality.

These findings suggest that this large chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis sample presents poor sleep quality, as assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and that this poor sleep quality is associated with many aspects of quality of life.

Mine is gone. I sleep like a baby and am rested in the morming but I still have immune and neurological symptoms.

I sleep like the sort of baby that wakes every couple of hours and is hard to settle back to sleep...

Yes, I know that's not what you meant, @lansbergen. I'm glad you are sleeping better.

Even if I zonk myself out with drugs, I still feel wretched the next day.
