---|---|---|
Decrease the number of activities that require lots of concentration and take breaks between such activities. Breaks can slowly decrease as symptoms slowly decrease | 39 (26) | 40 (28) |
Engage in regular everyday activities, but if they aggravate symptoms refrain from participation in these activities | 25 (17) | 13 (9) |
An increase in thinking will lead to an increase in symptoms. An increase in rest will lead to a decrease in recovery time. You should rest as much as possible until your symptoms resolve | 34 (23) | 30 (21) |
Engage in total rest from all activities, in a room with very little light, noise, or distractions. If you do this for a short amount of time, you will feel much better | 27 (18) | 26 (18) |
“Go to jail” in your own bedroom with only bathroom and food breaks for 2 full days. Turn off all electronics and music and avoid watching television, reading, or having conversations | 8 (5) | 4 (3) |
None of the above appeal to me | 15 (10) | 30 (21) |
