How many people in the world stay awake all night? I have fibermyalgia and when I lay down at night my legs begin to hurt. I am usually up atleast 3 nights out of the week It is not that I am not sleepy, I just cannot sleep. Am I the only one in the world with this problem? Jaybeeh

No,dear you are not the only one. I stay all night for several nights. I sleep during the day and hate it. I am told that you need to set your alarm so you get up at the same time everyday. But, if you don't get to sleep until an hour or so before the alarm goes off I can't function that way. There are several things that help. Not eating after 8p., no caffiene, no power drinks late in the day, soft music at bed time, warm baths or warm milk. One thing that always does the trick is 3-4 calcium tablets at bed time.
