OBJECTIVE Sleep problems are common among patients with fibromyalgia (FM). However, it is not known whether poor sleep is a contributing factor in FM or a consequence of the illness. The aim of the current study was to prospectively investigate the association between self-reported sleep problems and risk of FM among adult women. METHODS We longitudinally studied 12,350 women who did not have FM, musculoskeletal pain, or physical impairments at baseline (1984-1986). A generalized linear model…

Sleep problems, exercise and obesity and risk of chronic musculoskeletal pain: the Norwegian HUNT study.
TLDR
Regular exercise and maintenance of normal body weight may reduce the adverse effect of mild sleep problems on risk of chronic pain.
Predictors of fibromyalgia: a population-based twin cohort study
TLDR
Regional pain, frequent headache, and persistent back or neck pain, sleeping problems, and overweight are predictors for having a cluster of symptoms consistent with fibromyalgia.
Sleep disturbances in fibromyalgia: A meta-analysis of case-control studies.
The relationship between chronotype, sleep disturbance, severity of fibromyalgia, and quality of life in patients with fibromyalgia
TLDR
It is indicated that eveningness preference was directly related to increased FM symptom severity and poorer QoL, and neglecting to take chronotype preference into account may not result in optimal response to standard treatment for some patients with FM.
The relationship between sleep quality and fibromyalgia symptoms
TLDR
This study investigated the relationship between sleep quality and fibromyalgia symptoms in 326 patients by using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index to assess the presence of sleep disorders and the influence of fibromyalgic symptoms on sleep quality.
Fatigue, sleep, and stress: dynamic relationships in fibromyalgia
TLDR
The FMS group reported greater fatigue, worse sleep, and more autonomic symptoms than the non-FMS group; they evidenced higher tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) levels.
Insomnia Increases Symptom Severity and Health Care Utilization in Patients With Fibromyalgia
TLDR
A diagnosis of insomnia was associated with an increased frequency of visits to ambulatory care services for both FM patients and other conditions and demonstrates the substantial burden of comorbid insomnia in patients with FM.
A Daily Study Of The Sleep-Pain Relationship In Fibromyalgia
TLDR
This dissertation sought to examine the daily relationship between sleep and pain in a large population of chronic pain patients with fibromyalgia, as well as the factors that may explain individual differences in this relationship.
Increased Risk of Myofascial Pain Syndrome Among Patients with Insomnia
TLDR
Patients with insomnia had a higher risk of developing myofascial pain syndrome than controls, and this study adds to the understanding of the complex relationship between sleep disturbance and pain.
Stress, non-restorative sleep, and physical inactivity as risk factors for chronic pain in young adults: A cohort study
TLDR
It is suggested that non-restorative sleep and inactivity are risk factors in the short term while stress is a risk factor in both the short and the long term.

Sleep disturbances in fibromyalgia syndrome: relationship to pain and depression.
TLDR
Findings highlight the high prevalence of sleep problems in this population and suggest that they play a critical role in exacerbating FMS symptoms, and extend the literature, suggesting that sleep may be related to depression through pain and physical functioning.
Exploring the role of sleep and coping in quality of life in fibromyalgia.
The role of psychosocial factors in predicting the onset of chronic widespread pain: results from a prospective population-based study.
TLDR
Subjects are at substantial increased odds of developing CWP if they display features of somatization, health-seeking behaviour and poor sleep, and Psychosocial distress has a strong aetiological influence on CWP.

Comorbid Depression and Anxiety in Fibromyalgia Syndrome: Relationship to Somatic and Psychosocial Variables
TLDR
FMS is not a homogeneous diagnosis, but shows varying proportions of comorbid anxiety and depression dependent on psychosocial characteristics of the patients, demonstrating the importance of not treating patients with FMS as a homogeneity group.

Elevated inflammatory markers in response to prolonged sleep restriction are associated with increased pain experience in healthy volunteers.
TLDR
Insufficient sleep quantity may facilitate and/or exacerbate pain through elevations of IL-6, and insufficient sleep quantity itself may establish and maintain its co-occurrence with pain and increased inflammation.
Adverse effects of modest sleep restriction on sleepiness, performance, and inflammatory cytokines.
TLDR
It is concluded that in young men and women, modest sleep loss is associated with significant sleepiness, impairment of psychomotor performance, and increased secretion of proinflammatory cytokines.
