Restful Ways To Treat Chronic Fatigue
Limit Caffeine Intake

Since caffeine is a natural stimulant, most individuals would think a cup of coffee or green tea could help patients with chronic fatigue to feel more alert during the day. However, caffeine can also provide the body with energy for a while before the body experiences a crash. Chronic fatigue patients should limit caffeine intake as much as possible. Some individuals with chronic fatigue syndrome will become more tired than they were before having a caffeinated beverage. Once the effects of a cup of coffee or tea wear off, the body is craving more caffeine. Drinking caffeinated beverages can also increase the craving for sugar since most coffee and tea drinks are heavily sweetened. It's best to limit caffeine and to only drink coffee or tea with little or no sugar as needed.
Avoid Napping During The Day

Patients with chronic fatigue syndrome will likely feel the urge to take naps during the day. While this seems like a solution for treating fatigue, daytime napping could throw off the body's natural sleep pattern or circadian rhythm, which is why it's usually best to avoid napping during the day. Napping during the day can also impede the function of the brain in patients dealing with chronic fatigue. Daytime napping has even been associated with anxiety and depression. It's best to get as much sleep as possible at night and stay awake during the day. This is especially important because patients may not be able to take a nap daily, which keeps the body from anticipating a regular sleep routine.
