10 Treatments for Fibromyalgia

10. Getting Enough Sleep

Sleep troubles are some of the most common symptoms of fibromyalgia. Typically, these troubles include difficulty falling asleep, frequent nighttime disruptions, and feeling tired even after sleeping. A lack of sleep then causes fibromyalgia symptoms to worsen, forming a cycle of pain and sleeplessness.

On the other hand, studies show improving sleep can minimize pain. Some people achieve this with the help of sleeping medications, while others find ways to improve sleep naturally. Limiting caffeine intake and device screen time before bed may produce more immediate effects. Long-term, following a nightly routine, ensuring the room is clean and comfortable, and eating a healthy diet can all lead to better sleep.
