Is It Safe To Take Baclofen For Spasticity Leading To Sleeplessness?

I have spasticity from a stroke which makes it hard to sit more than a half hour and difficult sleeping. Just changing positions causes strong spasms. Standing and walking is difficult at times. I m already on 20 mg of baclofen 4 times per day. Also I m cold all the time, but sleep hot; wake up at night very hot and have to turn the air conditioning up.
