Struggling with Sleep and Fibromyalgia

Natrol Melatonin was the best thing for me.

This is, unfortunately, incredibly common with fibro. Our brains don’t like to go into deep sleep ever so we wake up exhausted, always. My fatigue is so crushing sometimes I feel like I’m wearing s lead suit. Prescription sedatives or muscle relaxers help me fall asleep at times but nothing really helps the chronic exhaustion.

Definitely have had that. It might be an indication you're not getting enough deep sleep- that's what I learned after using a sleep tracker for awhile. I think the fibro just doesn't let us truly rest and recover. If you have the ability to get some CBD oil, you might want to try that. I got started on Aliviar 20:1 tincture and it absolutely got me a much more normal night of sleep. Good luck!

I started taking a valerian root supplement just before bed about 6 months ago and honestly noticed an immediate difference in my quality of sleep

I have this issue… and I just started taking Amitriptyline and i feel like since taking it it’s actually worse.. I’m more groggy & irritated when I wake up..
