Aaron Hartman, MD explains how centralized pain syndromes like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and chronic Lyme disease trigger systemic inflammation that disrupts sleep and throws off sleep-wake cycles. Sleep disturbance is a core symptom of these conditions, often accompanied by fevers and broader regulatory dysfunction.

When you have these centralized syndromes, chronic fatigue and fibro or other injuries, concussion, chronic Lyme mold, whatever, and you get this systemic inflammatory response with some kind of centralized pain. You have told by symptoms and the major symptoms associated with that are sleep disturbances. You might have fevers and some like irregularities in your sleep, wake cycles, your body's regulatory system.
