Members enthusiastically confirmed that needing naps is a common experience, with many taking them daily and some struggling to stay awake for more than a few hours at a time. Several members shared practical strategies for managing fatigue, including taking brief 15-20 minute power naps, napping in their car during lunch breaks at work, or getting up to move around when unable to rest. A recurring theme was the importance of listening to your body without judgment, especially during flares when exhaustion can be overwhelming and unavoidable.

My fatigue is getting worse. Even after a nap I can feel too tired to move during a flare.
