Chron's and changing sleep patterns

I have noticed that since my stomach got worse that my sleep pattern has changed. I now wake at 5-6am and get really tired and can fall asleep at 9pm. I used to be a night owl.

I am still trying to work out if I have Chron's. Does anyone with Chron's experience changed sleep patterns?

Yes, but in the exact opposite direction: I became more of a night owl. It wasn't just the Crohn's (yes, internet, I'm looking at you), but it certainly didn't help. I've always had a pattern of being worse at night and better in the day, and that has tended to keep me up at night.

That same pattern has resurfaced now that I'm flaring again. I'm setting my alarm so I don't slide back into getting up at midday, but it's hard to fall asleep at 11pm when I'm constantly going to the toilet. My annoying tendency to become wakeful at night has also come back. Most non-sleeping pill stuff - like melatonin and benadryl - doesn't work for me either.

Not really relevant to you, topic creator, but I might look into magnesium.

One of my friend also suffered from this disease and he had pain in his left side of stomach. As a result it was not possible for him to turn towards left side during sleep due to acute pain. He consulted many doctors but none treatment was providing relief to him. At last when pain was unbearable to him he moved towards Calmare pain therapy. Through Peripheral neuropathy associated with Chemotherapy he got much relief and now he is regular in his treatment and getting well day by day. You can also take necessary advice and your problem will be certianly solved. If you want to know more on the subject you can also visit online at Calmare Pain Therapy site.
