It seems you also have some new sensations/symptoms, and this fits the definition of an attack: "New . . . or worsening of existing symptoms . . . lasting longer then 24 hrs."

I know it is hard when you are working or have small children, but I sleep whenever my body 'craves' it. My MS specialist agrees this is the best approach; "listen to your body and go with the flow".
