Clients with fibromyalgia often have sleep disturbances,which can be exacerbated by the stress,noise,and unfamiliar environment of the hospital.Allowing uninterrupted rest time,adhering to the client's usual bedtime routine as much as possible,limiting noise and light,and offering massages or warm showers can help.The client does not need a strong sleeping pill unless all other options fail and the client requests something for sleep.At that point a mild sleeping agent can be tried.
