Good luck guys in finding what works for you. Part of my problem is I go to bed worrying about everything. My mind is constantly going and I dont think it ever gets a chance to "unwind and slow down"

I am now on a CPAP machine. Although I don't quit breathing at night like I used to, and I sleep more 'hours' now, I still yawn all day and can sleep day and night for 3 days at a time sometimes. Reason is although the CPAP IS doing it's job, the Fibro won't allow me to get REM sleep. At least that's what I was told. No amount of med or machine will help unless you are able to get to REM. You might talk to your Doc about your sleeping med and tell him you are still REALLY tired sometimes to the point of exhaustion, yet your body/mind want to go, but yet the groggy and even dopiness the sleep meds can leave you with in the morning make you worry about you and your families safety. (If you have to drive in the mornings.) You can 'think' you sleep well, but take check on how you feel, and if you share a bed (spouse, significant other, etc.) ask THEM if they notice how you sleep.

Good Wishes and many hugs

Pamela {please}

I wish tons of love and hugs!
