Well for me night is my worst and aka why I can't sleep. My doctor was telling me about something in the body for some that actually increases pain at night but who knows. What I feel with this condition and why it is so hard to get proper pain control is that we are all so different in how we respond. A med that may help me may not you. For some they have different times of day that is better or even different types of activity that helps or hurt. I am sorry I don't have an answer. I am glad you see taking a rest helps you. For me pacing myself is important. Also finding a good balance between not too much activity and not too little.
