The Implications and Predictability of Sleep Reversal for People with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A Machine Learning Approach

Somebody lying in bed with their arms over their eyes (looks like they are probably distressed) The Implications and Predictability of Sleep Reversal for People with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A Machine Learning Approach Our study provides evidence that sleep reversal identifies a more impaired subgroup within the population of individuals with ME/CFS. Based on previous research findings that increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines contribute to more impaired sleep patterns, it is possible that significant inflammation may be an underlying cause of sleep reversal. Studies suggest that inflammation may relate to a majority of the predictive variables in our study. Additionally, as prior research indicates a relationship between low cortisol levels and circadian rhythm misalignment. Read more here>>
