Thank you for your interest in Pathway 3: Sleep
...one of the modules in the Pathways to Improvement online course
...a guided step-by-step program to help people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia and Environmental Sensitivities to feel and live better.
Your guide, Dr. Eleanor Stein, has 30 years of personal and professional experience with these difficult to treat biomedical diseases.
After years of illness and failed attempts at improvement, many with ME/CFS, FM and ES lose hope that improvement is possible. Not so. It is possible to improve your sleep and other symptoms, to be more joyful, more resilient and to be able to enjoy more of the things you love.
What is Pathway 3: Sleep?
Pathway 3: Sleep is one of the 8 Pathways modules included in the Pathways to Improvement online education program designed specifically for people with ME/CFS, FM and ES.
This module is for self-study to do at your own pace. It does not include any live sessions. It focuses exclusively on sleep and provides information, tools and resources to help people with ME/CFS, FM and ES to improve sleep.
This module provides specific, practical and affordable self-management suggestion that can benefit people who are newly diagnosed and those who have been ill for decades and are very knowledgeable.
Dr. Stein has been facilitating groups for people with ME/CFS, FM and ES for over 20 years. Improvement is the rule, not the exception. Now she is sharing what she has learned with you.

Title: You Can Rest in Me
Artist: Rachael Basch Ignatoff
Artist's Statement: This painting was inspired by my improved sleep during the Pathways to Improvement course. As I slowly integrated the sleep recommendations, I have been able to enjoy better, more consistent rest and deeper sleep. It’s still a work in process, but my sleep has definitely improved. Wishing everyone deep, nourishing sleep.
