This book that I am reading reports there is often a disruption of deep

sleep, where the most restorative benefits of sleep come. Studies have shown

that tested FMS patients had little trouble falling asleep, this I disagree

with, but were interrupted numerous times by sudden bursts of brain activity.

Researchers said that these brain activities were much the same as

awake-brain functioning.

With reduced deep sleep, the patient also produces less growth hormone, which

is vital in healthy muscles and soft tissues.

Many of those with FMS wake up in the morning feeling like they didn't get a

minute of good sleep. They are tired and not refreshed. Such a problem

means the muscles that were hurting the day before did not get enough rest

and rejuvenation, and they will also hurt again the next day.

-i awake approximatly every 2 hrs.

i wake up fresh from a dream. i never

sleep w/o dreams INHO.

i need approx 15hrs in bed to get

enough naps to function at all.

i have was is dxd as

Post-Traumatic FMS

its just as bad and just as permanant.

i can only walk a short distance due

to extreme pain. sleep is evasive. i

the sun comes up and i an totally exhausted.

then its every 2hrs and hopefully go back to

sleep fast (but that is rare).
