I have had spells like this. I blamed it on all sorts of things & because of my anxiety, never had myself checked out. Often I have wondered if

I know I have allergies and I just pretty much live with them.

I have been dx with fibromyalgia however I am second guessing that dx b/c of the anxiety and depression.

Yes, I'd say it's depression and anxiety related. Having the same problem at the moment :) For example, it's Sunday, I got up at 8 am, and at 9.30 I was back in the bed to sleep until noon. Ok, recently I stopped taking caffeine so it's partially cause of it too.

So just like you I'm still trying to figure out what triggers my sleeping. I know that I'm in this depression mode over the weekends when I don't have to go anywhere, and over the working weeks I'm anxious, cause at work with a lot of people and a lot of stressfull work and so no time to be depressed...

I think we should both force ourselves to get out of the house for a walk, hiking, riding bicicle, meeting a friend for drinks, any kind of thing...

Jennifer,

I noticed you said you sometimes take Benadryl at night. I have allergies and used to take it at night too, but I had to stop because the next day I would feel like I had a hangover, just extremely tired and groggy. Benadryl can have that affect. Just a small thing, but maybe stop taking it and see if it helps?
