Fabulous article on rest! As a chemo patient I’m stuck too with my brain running like a freight train and my body still on the platform. I’ve been trying box breathing to get my resting heart rate down and some meditation but the other challenge is lying too long and risking blood clots. Right now fighting hives and edema; woke up too early so I took my meds. Also staying off toxic social media.

I hope your day has improved and you got the rest you needed! Would things like ankle pumps and calf raises help to prevent clots while allowing you to remain horizontal? I do them to stave off the deconditionning that is so harmful when you have POTS.
