Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

Sleep disorders lead to a sleep deficit which can have big impacts on mood, anxiety, and pain disorders such as fibromyalgia. Treating fibromyalgia effectively requires treating a sleep disorder first and foremost. A poorly-rested body is more likely to experience pain. So, yes, definitely.
