7. Develop a Good Sleep Routine
People with fibro often have trouble falling or staying asleep, often due to fibromyalgia and night sweats. Although it might not be the only answer, it can help to develop a consistent bedtime routine.
Go to bed and get up at the same time every day. Before you go to bed, establish a ritual for relaxation that doesn’t include computers, phones or the television. It might be reading a book, coloring a patterned drawing, or having a bath.
Also, avoid exercise or work immediately before going to bed. Make your bedroom dark and relaxing and not too hot or cold, and try to select the best mattress for fibromyalgia sufferers.
Holiday shopping is more difficult when you have fibro. These tips for shopping for the holidays with fibromyalgia will help minimize your pain and stress.
