over sleeping

Sounds like you were pretty tired.
I sleep on average 10-12 hours. Any less I feel like a zombie.

Like many others here, good sleep is challenging for me too. I'm usually in bed about 9 hrs every night, but I only really sleep about 7 to 7.5 hrs of that. And it's all broken up, not in nice long stretches. But it used to be much much worse, so I'll gladly take what I'm getting now.

My Dr also told me to try to avoid napping during the day so I'd sleep better at night. But that wasn't enough. I now use a combination of things: Gabapentin, muscle relaxer, and melatonin about 20 mins before bedtime; CPAP machine; body pillow to curl around; and sleep number bed with dual zone climate control to adjust firmness as my body needs for pain and because I tend to sleep very hot (where of course dear hubby is cold) and I need the circulating cool air to avoid waking up in a puddle of sweat! LOL

Have a blessed day!

I avoid napping during the day but sometimes can't help it and tend to oversleep which creates havoc on my nighttime sleep.

with AMBIEN either i can't fall asleep or oversleep and can't wake up .

I know its frustrating but with fibro -mind and body you just need more sleep and better and more sleep will keep you at bay from flare -ups.

try to take it easy and sleep schedule is very important for fibro .

Nooneknows- have you been through a sleep study before? The reason I ask because I feel so rested and I feel so much better since I got my cpap. I was so tired and falling asleep Everytime I got a quiet moment. My oxygen was only 80 percent and I stop breathing frequently. All that has improved and like I said I feel so rested when I get up in the morning.

Oh and last night I was up till past 11 pm trying fall asleep :( Felt like once I fell asleep my alarm started going off for work. Nothing like getting less than 5 hours of sleep for work on a Monday!
