Just wondering how many folks can include irregular sleep in their bag of MS goodies?
My hubby had never slept well...always had to listen to music or talk radio to fall asleep, didn't need more than six hours. Had an "over-active " mind. Never had regular sleep habits (I'm an eight hour 10pm-6am gal, so it became a joke in our family) He was also a snorer and thrasher, and a major blanket stealer
When he had his first official MS attack last spring and was diagnosed, it all began to make sense.
Now that he is on Provigil during the day and baclofen at night, he sleeps like a baby. I've actually checked him during the night to make sure he was still breathing, he's so quiet. His breathing is regular and calm (no snoring) and his spasms are more like twitches. He comes to bed at 10pm, reads a bit, and sleeps until we both rise at 6am.
My theory is that the provigil is re-training his brain to be awake during the day, and calm at night...like reprogramming his circadian rhythms.
Anyone else have sleep stuff related to their MS?
