I like you answer
Donna. The other thing that helps me is when I start to feel a little drowsy at night, I or away the nook and just watch tv and relax. 9 times out of 10 if i go beyond that time slot I am awake all night. I used to fight it and that doesn't help.

I agree with Justnik. I've found the days I've had to get up for dr appts or laundry even though it was hard to get moving; those days i was able to stay awake almost all day. The trick for me was not to take a nap longer than 30-40 minutes. And to make that nap early in the afternoon. Otherwise I'd be awake all night and my days and nights would be turned around. Depending on what meds you take,that could play a big part in your situation..

I have ADD and I find that the medication I take for it really helps with the daytime sleepiness. I find it hard getting to sleep even with 2 sleeping medications and I finally get to sleep between 2-3 am. I sleep until 11 am. Since I don't work this sleep schedule works for me. I have heard from many with Fibro that they get their best sleep in the mornings so if you don't have to get up then sleep and don't feel bad about it.

Hi Yoopergirl! are you still involved with the group? If you should come back, it would be nice to hear how you're doing. B 🍓

I get that horrible a couple of years ago I had my thyroid checked turns out my third was low, Dr put me on medication for thyroid seems to help. When I have really bad days now just sleep .
