Had a literal brain hurting episode last night. After a nice easy day with my wife my head started throbbing like a mofo in the evening. I took some tablets and that didn't help so finally declared defeat and went to bed. At 7pm. A very early night for me but found that the cure for me of just sleeping through it got rid of it no problem.
It's weird how that works for me, when I get a really bad headache if I go lay down and go to sleep it goes away. Not sure if it came from my childhood migraines where that was the only way to survive, shut away in a dark quiet bedroom until I could think again. Still I felt much better this morning and very well rested. I don't even remember my wife going to sleep after she had finished reading beside me in bed. As usual though as soon as she realised I wasn't feeling great she got me in bed and made sure I had what I needed. Feeling safe beside her in bed is a large part of the reason why I can fall asleep so quickly. Knowing she is there and we are both there for each other if need be is a great comfort.
Still it would be nice if my method of recovering from headaches worked for my wife. It really is a simple case of sleep for me, something that is incredibly easy to prescribe.
