How can you sleep comfortably during my period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sleep aid: Have your OB recommend treatment for any menstrual discomfort. Any sleeping pill could be prescribed just for those days of the month, or you could try over-the counter options, especially melatonin, tryptophan, or tranquilene ( available on line) . Try to avoid anything with Diphenhydramine in it as it can leave you hung over, impair your driving, or cause weight gain due to craving carbohydrates.
