Sleeping & pain

Tweet

As those of us with fibro know, sleep is a wonderful thing we sometimes don't get enough of. As my friends also know, I did too much over the weekend & am now in some pain. So, I've been sleeping in snatches. When the fatigue gets too much that I can go to sleep, well, I do. But I tend to wake when the pain over rides the fatigue. So, since Sunday I've had an interesting sleep schedule I slept 4 hrs then was up at 3:30, down again around noon - happily I had something that allowed me to do that. I sleep 3 hours, then had to get up. I went down in 2 hr intervels all night last night with a final 3 in the morning, getting up at 7:30. I even lay down on the floor at my client's place (well, she was sleeping too) and slept an hour. Then I was down for another 3 hours this evening. I had to get up to take meds - and darn if I didn't forget to do my daily diary for the study! I'm headed back to bed after I finish this post & maybe I'll get more than 2 or 3 hrs of sleep.
