Oh god, wisdom teeth removal sounds so scary! I'd be so worried about the pain and infection. Make sure you follow all the post-op instructions from your dentist, even the tiny ones. Maybe try sleeping slightly upright with extra pillows, it might help with swelling and less throbbing.
Honestly, after my wisdom tooth surgery, I couldn't sleep properly for days. It was really hard and I felt so miserable and helpless. Don't feel bad if you're struggling; it's a tough recovery. Just try to keep up with your pain meds and soft diet, it does get better.
Please, please listen to your dentist carefully. I once ignored some post-op instructions for a different procedure and ended up with a complication that took ages to fix. If you're really struggling to sleep or in severe pain, don't hesitate to call your dentist again, even if it's late.
