Many people with multiple sclerosis (MS) experience sleep disturbances. Over 60 percent of people with MS have a sleep disorder, such as:

- Sleep-disordered breathing (sleep apnea)
- REM sleep behavior disorder
- Narcolepsy
- Circadian rhythm disorder
- Restless legs syndrome

Improving sleep hygiene, such as maintaining a consistent sleep schedule and avoiding electronics before bed, can help. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and melatonin supplements are also potential strategies. Always consult with a healthcare provider before trying new treatments.

Due to my RLS (restless leg syndrome) I was put on Gabapentin. I no longer fuss with 1,000 different sleep potions to find the right one. I no longer toss & turn. I just sleep. I am thankful for that. Occasionally I do an Ativan for sleep as well.
