Can't sleep on period?

I went to a specialist at Max Hospital because my period insomnia was ruining my work life. She explained how progesterone drops affect sleep cycles and gave me safe options. Don't suffer in silence, just consult a good gynaecologist.

My mother always tells me to drink warm ginger and pepper tea to soothe the lower abdomen before sleeping. It really helps calm the body down, na. But if the flow is too heavy and making you dizzy, it is always best to visit your clinic.

A few rounds of gentle Bhramari pranayama before lying down can soothe your nervous system beautifully. I also do very light butterfly stretches on the bed itself. It releases the tension in the pelvic area and helps you drift off naturally.

Beta, these hormonal fluctuations are very natural and we have all gone through these restless nights. Try sleeping in the fetal position with a pillow between your knees to ease the pressure on your tummy. Don't stress too much, your body just needs some quiet rest.

My daughter used to stay awake crying every month due to backaches and restlessness. We started giving her a warm bath before bed and got her some comfortable maternity-style pads for extra security. It really reduced her anxiety about staining, which was keeping her awake.

A hot water bag is my absolute lifesaver during these nights, along with some chamomile tea. But honestly, if you are getting severe vomiting or the cramps are unbearable, home remedies won't work. In that case, please see a doctor immediately.
