Hi yayyar my sleeping patterns since I have been on methatrexate have not unduly changed perhaps it is the knowing that it is working that is making you sleep better and I am gald it is working well for you long may it continue0

Hi Yayyar I'm not sure if its the drugs or the ups and downs of the illness that keeps us awake. I have no sleep pattern at all some times i can sleep some times i cant last night i got a full 6 hours without waking but most nights i'm up and down and them some nights no sleep at all, then i sleep for days lol i always feel better after a good sleep.
Take Care
