sleep

[Guest guest]

well I am 54 ( will be in a few weeks anyways) I sleep a bit less now and I

am not really in a stills flare....so I sleep like from 11 to 530 sometimes

7am

But When in a flare, or the stills is active, I can sleep 15 hours a day. I

truly believ it is important to rest if the disease is active.....there will be

a better time it just takes for ever and we think when will I ever get well!

In my 20's I really liked 9 hours of sleep, but had to settle for 7 or 8 cause

of work...I am older now and need a bit less.

Ask your doc if you can do some easy strength training You tube has al kinds

of things...chair exercises or tai bo what ever doc and you agree on...I think

that would help.

Feel better

( I have had insomnia snce age 8 I take Ambien and sometimes melatonin )
