Can't-Fall-Asleep-Thread

It's half past midnight here in Austria and I have to get up very early tomorrow, but I have such a terrible migraine (which I have about twice a month - I'm happy I haven't had to puke out of pain so far tonight...) that I just can't fall asleep. I feel very exhausted and my body just screams for rest, but I somehow don't feel tired at all.

Another reason for my not being able to fall asleep may be that I'm just not used to go to bed this early, as I've been up until dawn nearly every night lately... But I'd be completely dead tomorrow if I was to fall asleep that late.


I'm trying to fall asleep since eleven o'clock or so. I have played my guitar, which I usually do. I have listened to music, which I usually do, too. I carressed my girl next to me for quite some time, which I usually do... Nothing helped.


Any suggestions for me to be able to fall asleep?

And what do you peeps do against migraine? I drink loads of water and take painkillers (although I try to avoid them, if possible). And don't fucking say I should get some sleep, please! lol

best way imo to fall sleep is focus on your breathing keep it relaxed. and what works for me is breath out through your mouth then in through your nose it will make you yawn which will help to relax and try to not think about anything and then keep your eyes closed, just dont open them...works for me.

I also get those migraines where i puke, and its alllll day until about 6pm...I usually take 2 sudafed, 3-4 ibuphrofen, and sometimes 2 benydryl all at the same time...I know it sounds like alot but they all do something different...I have taken 2 aspirin and 2 ibuph. before and that really works well on the headache but aspirin really hurts my stomach... i also read for some reason sudafed is recommended for a migraine, but it has to be the real stuff not the crap you can buy off the shelf, I dont know if they have put the good sudafed behind the counter in austria but they have here cuz idiots use it to make meth.. The pharmasists have it behind the counter, you just have to sign for it.. I hope you feel better soon! I HATE those headaches! I drink alot of water ALL the time and i dont get them half as much as i used to...

I disagree with the breathing idea

if i start thinking about breathing while trying to sleep i get all anxious worrying about missing a breath.

i usually listen to some good tunes and then keep a line or riff on repeat in my head while laying down. its a good way to lose connection from constant thought.

or you could just do your thing to some porn lol that usually worx
You're so glam, every time I see you I wanna slam!

weed would work.

Seriously I've had the same thing for three nights. 2:40am here and have to travel two hours by train to go to the dentist tomorrow. Not looking forward to it. I feel for you!

For your headache it could be dehydration. Ensure you drink plenty of water the hours before sleep and throughout the day.


For your insomnia, it may be stress related. Not sure what to suggest.
