Yes, the sleep theory....
In my opinion the sleep theory is a chicken/egg discussion (as in - which came first). Some doctors thing that the fibro causes the sleep problems, other believe that the sleep problems cause the fibro.
Either way, a person with fibro usually does not get enough (or does not get any) stage 4 sleep. Stage 4 is the deep sleep stage where the body "resets" itself.
So does lack of stage 4 cuse fibro? or does having fibro cause people to have a lack of stage 4?
Did the chicken come first, or the egg?
Some studies have shown that the muscle relaxer Flexeril taken at bedtime helps people to achieve stage 4 sleep.
