Members confirmed that sleep disorders are very common with fibromyalgia, with many sharing their experiences using CPAP machines for sleep apnea, though results varied from significant improvement to continued fatigue despite treatment. Several members described practical approaches that helped them, including weight loss eliminating the need for CPAP, melatonin supplements for better sleep quality, and Trazodone to improve sleep despite not reaching REM cycles. A recurring theme was that while treating sleep apnea can provide some relief from fibromyalgia symptoms, many members still struggle with chronic fatigue and disrupted sleep patterns that appear to be separate fibromyalgia-related issues beyond what CPAP therapy alone can address.
