I totally relate to this. I am exhausted pretty much all the time, getting an average of 4hrs sleep a night. I can get to sleep. But I wake after 1hr tops,, and then toss and turn for hours. I think pain on moving wakes me and then my brain keeps me awake. This can go on for days and then I crash and will sleep for 12hrs or more, not solidly, but waking and going straight back to sleep. If you find a cure guys please let me know xx

Lornamay...so on the same page. Seems like there is no end.

I have bouts of insomnia and times when I can sleep the whole weekend away. Mind you though the sleep is never more than 2 to 4 hours at a time and no amount of sleep ever feels refreshing. I have tried Tylenol pm, Advil pm and it doesn't do anything for me. I get restless legs so incredibly bad that I have to get up. Sad to say this but the only thing Ivrthad that can relax me and knock me out good for a few hours is drinking a couple to a few drinks of Coffee Brandy. Not a good recommendation. I'm still seeking relief.

I find that Xanax helps to relax my brain enough to fall asleep. I go through phases like that and that is the only thing that works. I also take amitryptiline.

I feel exhausted all the time. My rheumatologist told me to try melatonin. That was 2 nights ago and it has helped both nights and have yet to have any hang over feelings the next morning
