Thank you for this article, Linda. I really hope your readers pay attention. I wish I had known about this years ago.

This is, in my opinion, the most important sentence in your piece: "Constant fatigue can be associated with a number of health problems..."

I missed out on all of these kinds of rest for many years, starting from adolescence. I developed chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).

I now manage the condition with diet, supplements, and all of these kinds of rest so wonderfully summarized here.

If you are young and driving yourself into the ground the way modern society now demands, remember that the impact on your health can be permanent. You may not have the genetic predisposition to CFS that I had, but there are plenty more conditions associated with constant stress and exhaustion that can develop and have a horrible effect on your life.
