I usually don't have insomnia but I often awake at night from pain. Specifically, when I move it hurts in a very major way. From what I have noticed in myself, I remain in the same position for most of the night. I sleep with my iPhone and listen to it to fall asleep. It's set to turn off after 30 minutes. It's not unusual to wake after six hours in the exact same position I fell asleep (on my side with the phone still in my hand and the buds in my ear). Moving from that position is extremely painful. Or I will wake from searing pain after 4 hours when I try to move.
Of course, just lying in bed in one position for 30 minutes causes pain on that side and I have to move onto my other side for a while. But I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about not moving and then having pain bad enough to wake you from a sound sleep when you do move.
I wonder if the morning stiffness in FM is due to a decrease in body movement at night. Anyone else find they do not move much at night? It is normal to do a certain amount of tossing and turning.
