It may be related, but not likely. I come from a long genetic line of sleep disorders. Look into trazodone. After a lifetime of rarely sleeping more than 3 hours at a stretch, i finally was put on that one at the age of 37. Im now 59, no problems, just great sleep. It's a non habit forming old school first line antidepressant. No grogginess in morning, just refreshed, and, unfortunately, very aware if full body pain. At least pain doesn't wake me up. And a good night's sleep is essential to battling the pain.

If I drank beer to sleep I’d be up peeing all night. 😂

Sleep is not my friend, I sleep when I can for as long as I can. Not always successful but I try to sleep when my body gets tired. I don't nap after 4pm in the evenings and I seldom eat dinner to try give my body the idea that the day is ending and it's time to sleep. Pain does not help. And my other condition means I can't lie down and sleep sitting up. Getting comfortable is a challenge and I have to take meds every 6 hours so even if I fall asleep my alarm will wake me for that. It's definitely not helping with the fatigue obviously either. But I persevere
