We all know that our sleep is somehow messed up with this whole fibro thing. but has anyone else found that if they are up past a certain time, they can't actually fall asleep for another couple of hours, no matter how tired they are?
I don't stay up this late often, but i have found that if i stay up past 2 a.m. i can't actually go to sleep until after 4, no matter how hard i try. i'm tired but very awake. but as long as i'm in bed by 1:30, i have no problem going to sleep. the funny part is, that this is the time of night when my sleep cycle went crazy when i had my sleep study. the rest of the night was better than normal, then for about a 2 hour period, i went from REM to awake about 6 times. (one sleep tech said this is why i'm always tired, the other just said that part doesn't really matter since i was in all stages as long as i was supposed to be, and i now of a diagnosis of narcolepsy added to my list)
Thanks!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I can be sooo tired , i cannot stop yawning but yep, if i don't fall asleep by 1am which i usually don't, then i am up all thru the dark hours.LOL
