What Do You Do When You Can't Sleep?
I'm trying to figure out how to help with deeper sleep. Lack of sleep causes migraines, but then migraines cause lack of sleep....so what do you do to help yourself?

There are some essential oils that can help you also with relaxing and sleep. Try the lavender 💜 oil for relaxing. I also really like the peppermint oil for migraine as well as peppermint tea.
I take sleeping pill every night, a must.
My neurologist sent me to have a sleep study done, so maybe you should ask for that.
Unfortunately mine revealed that I have narcolepsy so I don't reach deep sleep and when I do the narcolepsy pulls me right back up. I spend most of my sleep in REM so I dream a lot and don't get the rest my brain needs to help with this migraine.
My husband teased me a lot that I had narcolepsy, never since diagnosed.
But you may get answers from a sleep study and sleep doctor.
Did giving up coffee help? I haven't given it up in the morning.
I heard a Japanese (I think) proverb:
Coffee in the morning is medicinal. Coffee in the afternoon is poison.
Once I heard that, I thought it rang true!
