I have the same problem! I found the best thing to sleep in for me is 100% cotton "dress-type" men's shirts. I like the thinner, smooth cotton. I buy them extra big, roll up the sleeves and I am good to go! They are so cool and comfortable.
I also have intermittent bone pain with Gleevec, but it is a small price to pay for the results! Pain meds help me when I need them. Good luck!
