yesterday I had 3 cups of tea (usually have decaf or water only) ate badly, racing thoughts upon entering sleep and yet I had 8 hours of sleep...usually when I have 1 tea it make me wired for the evening and I wake up several times or can't get to sleep at all. I can't understand how some nights I can get good sleep and others I can't...even when I take sleep med I don't get that much!

For me sleep is completely random, doesn't matter what I have eaten, what I have drank, what exercise I have done, what sleep meds I have taken etc

Does anyone else have this randomness? By the way as a result of that sleep I have had a pretty good day, fatigue very minimal, aches and pains right down...

I know that many times my episodes of insomnia are related to overwhelming stress. There are times too, where I can't actually pinpoint a reason other than the nature of fibro, other conditions and the pain. Insomnia runs in cycles for me. I know the B vitamins are very important for getting good sleep and I do take supplements. I also try not to eat anything after 7:00 PM.

Last night I slept 10 hours but did not wake feeling refreshed. Sometimes sleeping only 6 hours will give me more energy than 10 hours might. I don't think my insomnia is as bad as it once was. The conditions we live with , how much exercise we get and our diet does have some influence over our sleep.

Hugs, Robin

My sleep is random too. Pain seems to affect my sleep cycle.

Totally! I had ample thanksgiving food and copious sugar (always a sleeping pill for me, lol), AND had a muscle relaxer. Didn't sleep a wink last night. My brain, however, was anxious...about absolutely nothing. My body, then, just followed along like I was stressed.

I better sleep like the dead tonight.

My insomnia has no rhyme or reason. Thankfully, it only happens once or twice a month for me.
