Brief Summary

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a common and chronic disorder characterized by widespread muscle pain, fatigue, and multiple tender points. The majority of individuals with FM report sleep problems, including delayed sleep onset, extended awakenings, and non-restorative sleep. These sleep disturbances may worsen FM-related pain, fatigue, low mood, and low energy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral insomnia therapy in reducing sleep disturbances and improving other FM-related symptoms.
