I am sleeping 11 hours a night and would sleep longer if my husband didn’t wake me. I still feel tired, and usually fall asleep during the afternoon or evening.
my husband is frustrated with me sleeping so long and also I am so forgetful he can tell me something one and talk’s about it the next day and I haven’t got a clue what he is talking about. Is this fibromyalgia or something else, should I speak to a doctor?
Oh , I should be so lucky lol, I can’t remember when I slept through the night 😳Word of warning though my OH was like that and he found out he had diabetes, so I’d check with your Dr just incase.
I would get bloods tests for b12 and folic acid.
ThanksSallyannl I’ll ask for that
I regularly sleep this long and still feel as tired as I went to bed.. Unrefreshed sleep is so frustrating worth checking out with Yr GP though.
Good Morning Sturdy,Both Fatigue and brain fog play a massive part with Fibromyalgia,But you must get this checked.
So your Gp can rule out any underlying problems.
I was doing exactly the same, sleeping all day and night, but now a awake all day, that’s due to medication changes.
I still can’t do a lot but I’m awake.
Having been to a pain group (6 weeks) and fibromyalgia group(8 weeks)one of the subjects dealt with is sleep, we need 7-8 hours of good sleep including deep sleep . So any more in general is not needed . You should look into how your sleeping, if your going to bed not truly tired, is your bed comfortable, is your room dark , can you cut out noise (I ware ear plugs) are you warm/or cold. Unfortunately fibromyalgia can effect your temperature, sensitivity to noise. A big problem is pain and getting comfortable in bed. Are you taking tablets before going to bed this effect the type of sleep your having, deep sleep but not a natural mixture of light sleep dream sleeping . Avoid day night/early evening sleeping. So I would investigate your sleeping patterns in a sleep diary and give the results to your GP, as it’s always impossible to remember days and hours a week your having poor sleep. I hope this helps
I am sure that FM and poor sleep are very strongly related. Sounds like your sleep quality is wrong - I bet a sleep study would prove that. Consequently your FM will be worse.... my opinion/belief
Like you, I am sleepy all the time. Sleepy and tired. I never, ever sleep during the day I get certain migraine, if I do) so I cannot wait to go to sleep at night. It take me a while to settle down, but when I do, I need a long sleep.
Unless I sleep nine hours and I exhausted for the rest of the day.I am fortunate that I no longer work, so I let my body dictate when to wake up. The simple fact is, that after nine hour sleep, I can actually perform few of my basic daily tasks, if it is any less I am almost paralysed with fatigue.
My friends, who cannot sleep, say they envy me that I can sleep through the night, whilst they only get five hour, or less . But the fact is that without fibromyalgia, they can s fully function, exercise, go out and enjoy life on their five, or so hours of sleep, and I am still tired after nine hours. I am tired all the time,
No one understand how can this be,
They ask me, did you have a good night, and I say, yes, but it does not seem to make much difference to the way I feel. Not really,
So believe me, Sturdy, I know how you feel. Your symptoms are typical of fibromyalgia. Constant fatigue goes hand in hand with fibromyalgia.
Hello Sturdy, you sound exactly like me! I sleep up to 30 hours and have just had a sleep study awaiting results. I go to bed on Friday evening early after being at work all week and have often slept through until Sunday🤦♀️Not much of a life 😞this weekend my wonderful daughter has stayed and cleaned my flat from top to bottom and it is sparkling 😁and I admit to being a hoarder and find it very difficult to throw anything away and I take things on offer even though I don’t use them or need them. I’ve realised over the years that this stems from childhood as I believe a lot of issues with anxiety and depression and ptsd do and I could be wrong but I feel it often leads onto fibromyalgia and other conditions 🤷♀️It’s a vicious cycle but very often I feel all linked. I’m not saying for everyone but gut feeling and hearing peoples situations seem to confirm this for me. I feel our minds and bodies, mentally and physically are exhausted and this contributes to some chronic health conditions such as fibromyalgia🤷♀️Instead of treating a person as a whole, our individual conditions are treated and looked at as just that…. Individual. Only my own observations I must say. My Daughter has just left to go home and I shall have the usual missing her feeling for a few days but count myself so very lucky and I’m so grateful to have such a helpful, thoughtful and non judgmental daughter, she is a blessing for sure. Oh and I had my Pip assessment on Friday, I was beside myself with anxiety but I have to say that I had a lovely lady and I know she isn’t going to make the final decision and I’m soo glad it’s over with(for now🙏🙏🙏) but to anyone who is due their assessment I can truly say that the lead up was worse than the actual meeting and I know it won’t stop anybody feeling anxious but just thought I’d mention it and hope it helps 🥰xx
Ive suspected the childhood trauma& health conditions being a factor in/ fibromalgia, as an adult.Hope you get the desired,outcome from pip
Hi, K77a. I’m not sure if your reply was to me? I’m having a very rare night of not being able to sleep,I suspect it’s because I’m missing my daughter who went home today after spending the weekend with me. It doesn’t matter how old they get as a parent you never stop missing them 🤷♀️If you did reply to me thank you very much as I really do feel how your childhood pans out affects you as an adult, both good and bad.
And thank you for your good wishes for my outcome on pip too x
