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.
