Discovered a really nice thing about my medication I take for my chronic headaches/migraines.
I’m supposed to take it in the evening before bed, which makes it really difficult to get up in the morning. Drowsiness and feeling tired are one of the most common side effects after all, which is why you’re supposed to take it in the evening in order to bypass most of it (feeling tired means nothing if you're already sleeping).
But because of the morning drowsiness I will sometimes sleep to noon during my days off, and days when I got school I will sometimes just sleep in and take a later train, making me a bit late to my lessons.
But yesterday I had an amazing though, why not take the medication waaaay before I go to bed? So I took it around half past five. Around NINE I was so tired I just went to bed and fell asleep within minutes. I usually only go to bed that early if I’m ridiculously sick. It’s now my day off and it’s not even 12.00 yet, and I’ve already finished one errand and taken a long walk. This feels like a life hack, but with ehm, prescription drugs.
Pity it does next to nothing with my headaches and my doctor will probably give me another medication when I talk to her in a few days 🙃
