Welcome to the Migraine and sleep disorders Forum

I’m having another migraine that is keeping me from sleeping. A dull pounding that takes up my whole head, laying down seems to upset it more. And my teeth normally hurt when I have these. I’m supposed to be up in 2 hours to go to work. Tomorrow is going to suck.
Even if I get tired, close my eyes, the amazing pounding wakes me up. And that’s only if I get the luxury of falling asleep. Did I mention tomorrow is going to suck?

Cynthia, how did your day go? Were you able to finally fall asleep?

I used to help run a sleep disorders forum. There are many ways to help us sleep better. Have you ever looked into some of these types of things yet? Have you had a sleep study done yet?

In the middle of the night I’m waking, or semi-waking, in pain and seeing aura; my usual yellow patterns mixed with white slashes. I’m not totally with it so I’m not sure if this is real or a dream, but the pain feels real. These experiences are scary and disconcerting.

My non-Migraine pain has been so bad lately I have been stuck in bed… Yet cannot sleep. This serves to trigger unwanted nasty Migraine beasties, causing more pain and less sleep. Anybody riding this same snowball down the hill?

I have insomnia which just makes me have more migraines… last week I didn’t sleep from the time I woke up Sunday to Thursday night after my botox treatment!
