2) The main results are given in the table below. Overall, I'm a bit surprised at the small differences between patients and controls. ME/CFS patients had only slightly reduced sleep efficiency: they lay in bed 48 minutes longer but had the same overall sleep duration.

3) One of the more interesting results is the increased variability in sleep quality in ME/CFS: "The magnitude of variability observed in ME/CFS exceeded that reported in healthy populations and was comparable to levels documented in clinical sleep disorders such as insomnia."

4) The authors note that patients had more regular sleep times and schedules than controls, so that doesn't explain it: "This dissociation challenges maladaptive sleep behaviors and may instead point toward instability within physiological systems governing sleep maintenance."
