Thank you for the insight.Simon, I'll check out that sight out.. I know relaxation techniques is probably a good idea for me and there are times when I do some light yoga for the purpose of trying to keep flexible because of the FMS, but I am not always physically able to do that.

I don't understand or know anything about dreams and didn't even really know about REM but it makes sense to me. I don't think I have ever been in the habit of going into REM sleep.So when I do go there now,I am dreaming and not used to.. maybe?

I do have recall of some images.. like hearing people talking and knowing I saw faces but I can't place them and I can't recall details.And one thing too is my blankets..i have been waking up with them twisted up and looking as if I had been wrestling in bed or something. I am not used to this either, so I thought I must be moving more in bed than I mormally do. I don't know. Perhaps I am playing more into it than necessary.Could be I worry too much.

I am used to being more aware of my actions and it is unsettling to not be in control even in sleep. I started taking lyrica for fibromyalgia pain about 2 weeks ago and I take flexeril to help me sleep. The combination is really knocking me out.

Thanks guys! Ya'll are great! Sky.. I hope you get over the tough spot soon... Faith
