Does Anyone Else Have Issues With Not Sleeping? Waking Up And Staying Awake?
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

For a long time now, I have had issues with sleep, falling asleep, waking up and then falling back to sleep. I've tried melatonin, Zquil and Unisom and all I've gotten are weird dreams. Do others have this issue and what do you do about it? What meds do you take? Over the counter or prescription? And what side effects are there?

I do...I have not slept good in a few days. Going to bed and waking up with migraines plus once I am sleep I often wake up because I am choking needing water, piercing facial pain and/or ear itching.

Insomnia is tough. Ambien for the bad nights. Now I stay on trazadone and amitriptyline. Without them I wake up every hour. I also have a lot of crutches: white noise, pillows, sleep mask, mouth guard you name it. I also use sleep cylce the app to chart my sleep and wake up at the best time. Hang in there!!! You’ll get through it and work with your meds and figure out what is best for you!
