Hi! Lately I've been feeling very weak and sleepy during the day. And it's very bad, so bad that I can't control it and I ended sleeping a nap, but the nap takes about 5 hours or more. I can't drive because I'm afraid to fall asleep. I can work because I'm sleeping and Wen I woke up I feel very bad, tired and with pain. This is never happened to me before and I can't control it. Does anyone have the same problem?

Hi Lalis. I find my pain makes me very sleepy. I can feel ok and all of a sudden I get this huge feeling of tiredness and the need to sleep. Sometimes it is a short sleep other times it can be several hours. Hugs to you. 💕
No matter whether I'm.working or at home on a day off, I'm always ready for a nap by 2.30/3ish! Do manage to limit it to an hour and always set an alarm!
Yes, Lalis. Fibro makes you very sleepy during the day, or it did me. I have tired periods sometimes during the day. It was worse. I used to have be sitting on the couch or bed and have to have a nap.My head will actually start to fall forward and my eyes close where I am at. I have to stay busy at work or I am falling asleep. I am not sleeping well at night. That is one of the biggest problems with fibro is the inability to get a good night's sleep.
yes i do,even when im in work and when i come home i do the same, body feels week and tired, its been hapaning loads of times.
Yes, I can imagine it's much harder with children @LaureSian, mine are older and out at work but I have 2 furbabies to get up for in the morning😁 xx
