Sleep is a precious commodity, and sometimes that need is compromised. My wife has Fibro and the pain factor alone is enough to disrupt her sleep. I know that if she doesn’t sleep well, then niether do I. I’m one of those people who sleep best in a totally dark room, no noise and slightly cool temp. I can’t sleep if I’m too warm. The Fibro causes the “restless leg syndrome” in my wife and she tosses and turns and hers legs sometimes just sort of vibrate. (That’s the best way I can decribe it.) She takes a prescription sleeping pill, that helps her rest. In fact it works really good and she’s out fast asleep within 30-45 minutes of taking her meds. The drawback is she only gets 6-7 hrs sleep then she’s wide awake. I found a good article about sleep medications. Take a look. I always research new meds her Doctor put her on so if a new symptom pops up, we might be able to trace it back to her meds.
