text: if you had a disease that caused you to have little energy and or to make you nap five times a day  what? i have had chronic fatigue for 20 years. chronic fatigue does not mean that you sleep your life away. for some, they must sleep 20 hours a day. for others, we sleep an hour or two at a time and must nap on and off through the day.  do you think that you could accept that you must sleep or take naps? i still feel lazy because of the need to nap. it is not fun and is hard to do. must be a difficult disease to deal with.  i have not been diagnosed with it but i still take little naps during the day.  i have no words of wisdom for you to make things any easier.  hang in there and maybe soon they'll have better ways of treating this disease.
