How it works
Poor sleep impairs descending pain inhibitory pathways and increases pro-inflammatory cytokines. Fibromyalgia patients show disrupted slow-wave sleep — interventions that restore deep sleep reduce pain.
CBT-I adapted for fibromyalgia is the most evidence-based sleep intervention. Low-dose tricyclic antidepressants (amitriptyline) improve slow-wave sleep in fibromyalgia. Sleep hygiene alone is insufficient for significant sleep pathology.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
