However, little is known about their habitual sleep and night-to-night fluctuations under real-life conditions. This study aimed to characterize sleep, and the intraindividual variability (IIV) of sleep in people living with ME\/CFS compared with matched controls.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this case-control study, 38 ME\/CFS and 38 controls wore a wrist accelerometer continuously for 7 days and completed concurrent sleep diaries, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Within the ME\/CFS group, participants were also stratified by symptom severity using the Bell Disability Scale. Sleep IIV was quantified using the coefficient of variation, the root mean square of successive differences, and the Bayesian variability model, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Compared with controls, individuals with ME\/CFS spent significantly more time in bed and exhibited poorer sleep efficiency (SE) (all\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Despite a longer time in bed, total sleep time did not differ between groups. ME\/CFS participants also displayed significantly greater IIV in SE. By contrast, sleep timing (bedtime) was more regular among ME\/CFS. Exploratory analyses did not detect clear differences across ME\/CFS severity subgroups for mean sleep variables or variability indices.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Under real-life conditions, people with ME\/CFS exhibit poor sleep quality and unstable SE.

Moreover, night-to-night sleep variability, a potentially critical dimension of sleep health, has not been systematically examined in ME\/CFS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Study impact<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Using week-long wrist accelerometry, this study shows that under free-living conditions sleep in ME\/CFS is characterized not only by impaired sleep efficiency but also by pronounced night-to-night variability, despite relatively stable bedtime compared to controls.
