    I have fibromyalgia, (for 9 years) and my lack of sleep is getting worse. I find it hard to go to bed at night because I can lay there all night, even until 6 am. Sometimes I take a tablet to help. If I go to sleep about 3 or 4am I struggle to wake up long enough to get up. I am struggling. Nothing is consistent except the difficulty. I am 62 year old female
