I'm on my monthly period, and i'm having a very hard time falling asleep!


Question: I'm on my monthly period, and i'm having a very hard time falling asleep!?
I posted the same question yesterday, and I tried everything you guys suggested like heating pads/glass of milk/bath, and none of it helped!. I ended up falling asleep at four in the morning!. Then I had to wake up around 7 for life guarding practice, and I actually had to sit out most of the time!.

It's heavier blood flow, worst cramps, and darker blood with a lot of mucus strings, one of the heaviest periods i've had so far!. I'm having a VERY hard time falling asleep, the pain from cramps is unbearable!. I took some advil in the morning, and when that didn't help I took some NO-SPA and Pyralginum, (Polish medication that my mom always takes on her period to ease the cramps,) I took it about 2 hours ago, and it did nothing!. What can I do to fall asleep peacefully!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
