I hate sleeping on my period
Same
Same here
Right? Same here.
Yeah it's so uncomfortable
Me too
the problem for me is not the sleeping part, it’s the uncomfortableness. I just feel SUPER dirty whenever it’s time to sleep. I hate it. I sleep well after I actually get myself to fall asleep.
"no electronics on your period before bed" Me sitting at 1am watching this
The fact that its literally 1am rn and this was two yrs ago😭
lmao same
Currently on my period and I am currently laying in bed at 6 am kept up all night from cramps. We have no pain killers in the house save me now
Hi, Ultraviolet Re-markey-able! Only in this time I'm reading your message, but you can do a lot to avoid your pain next time.
I'm a nurse and since years I've been studying the prevention of the strong menstrual pain, by means of an easy method of preventive and progressive thermal stimulation, instead of "to remedy" only through pain with pills, or rolling in bed.
We can speak again, if you need, glad to aid you not to suffer again unnecessarily, kept up all night.
I don't like pain killers, example, tylenol, ibuprofen, etc, because they can seriously damage the kidneys and cause kidney stones. I exercise everyday Monday through Sunday and when I have my period I no longer have terrible cramps. I also drink a good amount of water everyday.
@@vanessabayardo9788 thank you
Vanessa Bayardo dude i did all of that this time and my stomach is currently hurting and last night was spent crying in pain
@@thatunloyalkpopstan6152 then u need to go see a dr asap and inform him/her.
Ok so you said that when your period is about to start you sleep more, but for me, I actually get less sleep strangely enough.
Her: sleep early
Me: *watching this at **2:03*
YASS KPOP Sameee

I always struggle with sleeping on my period because I am so worried about leaks during the night I find my self completely restless, any tips?
MilaTheBusted same
Same
Almost 3am and that's why I am up
Wear a tampon and a pad if you have really heavy periods. Mine are insanely heavy the first few days so I know how it is!! If you only want to wear a pad then I agree with an old blanket or a towel.
Ok so i know this sounds crazy.......but I wear a depend at night on my heavy days, yes the old people diapers hahahah. I dont have to worry about leaks at all!!!! However I'm pretty nasty in the morning so i take a nice hot shower before starting my day. Its seriously the best
Whenever I start cramping, if I'm able to, I go to sleep. It helps me avoid taking pain medicine and I always feel so much better afterwards. Luckily I only cramp on the first day so normally I don't miss out on life too much. I've learned to always let my body sleep when it needs it, it's worth it in the long run.
Same. I've started to notice that when I have really bad cramps a nap makes then calm down and I feel much better after. And I also don't need to take any medication which is always an added bonus!
Shelby Begeman Hi ;)
I always take a medicine and go napping, i guess I have to try to skip the medicine and see if the cramp still go away :D
AbiWinehouse I've never been the kind of person to take medicine, so it may take some time. Definitely try calming things like drinking tea before hand to help.
I'm at school all day long. Period + School is horrible.
I don't get cramps at all never ever
You should write a book all about FAM and the menstrual cycle phases and what they entail. You seem so passionate and knowledgeable about these topics, I'd definitely buy & read it.
Writing a book is definitely in my future :) Thanks for the encouragement!
Yes!!
No! Caffeinated drinks causes heavy flows and intense cramps
i always have trouble sleeping when i'm on my period when i want to sleep i have trouble sleeping then i end up staying up all night until like 4 in the morning
I have problems when I lay down on my period, I stain the back of my under pants... I figured out how to get it out in a few minutes but it gets tiring. I don't know what to do...
I wear tampons and set an alarm for 7 hours of sleep and then I change my tampon exactly at that time no tss for me
Sameeee I hate pads so much they get all nasty at night and stain everything
Wear an overnight-sized pad. you're welcome.
You could get period under wear
Use menstrual cup
I've been up all night trying to sleep, my issue is the pain is preventing my sleep.
LetsNotLetsReallyNot dont try too hard. put on relaxing music n think positive . u wd sleep :)

Hi, LetsNotLetsReallyNot! You too you can do a lot to prevent your cramps.
Please, see my other messages on this page and then we can speak again about this, glad to aid you to sleep better.
Oh, so this is why today when i woke up i felt the urge to fall back to sleep.
Beautiful. This is explaining exaclty how I felt the last days. And here is my period. I love this beauty in honoring the body's cycle. High-low energy flowing.
I never realized that a lot of women are kept up on their period,,
I'm always drowsy and sleepy on my period, sometimes I'll sleep the whole day ( even if I had cramps 😂) and still be exhausted,
self love ist the key
When i have period im always sleepy.. and my sleep is more longer i sleep for 10 hours a day
I love this! I have this same need for more sleep and it's nice to actually allow yourself more down time and not judge yourself :)
thank you so much for sharing this important information. I just slept 9 hours straight through my first day of period but still feeling a little bit out of head and exhausted. When I woke up, guilt and self blame punched down on my shoulder. but right now, with your knowledge insight and explanations, I feel much more relieved and will definitely give myself and the body the rest it demands
It's my first time sleeping on my period 😢
I have exams and my body is like "you are exhausted".
I love your hair!
I wish I could sleep more on my period but my body usually tells me my period is coming by giving me wicked insomnia the day before. I understand it's due to the progesterone drop? I feel like being short on sleep just makes everything worse but all the things I do to usually help myself sleep just dont work during my period and it takes a week to recover.
I love your channel!
So glad I stumbled upon your videos. You are really making me think more about what my body needs while menstruating. Something I never cared to pay attention to before. Thank you!
Watching this at 4:20am (lol 420) and I’m dying. I feel so close to throwing up, and I am having bad cramps. Worst part is today is Halloween and I’m supposed to be going out win friends..
I got my period tonight and I’m scared to sleep it’s 12:16 HELP
OH MY GOD I READ THIS AND GASPED BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S 12:16 WOAH
lmao it’s 4:00 am-
2:04 oh damn, I'm using my electronic to watch this to help me sleep on it. can this be my exception
Anyone else realise they were on there electronics at 11pm after she said get off of them? 😅
Watching this at 1:32am and I’m crying cuz I can’t sleep. I’m trying to sleep on the toilet but I can’t get comfy. Any tips!
bruh id rather sleep in pain rather than sleep and waking up to a pool of blood leaking through my underwear, pants, and sheets
Thanks for the information
i rlly want to sleep rn, like the pain woke me up, and my period feels so u know nasty :( it’s so uncomfortable 😭
I get major pain and have to take co codamol. I find that I sleep during the day and it helps me avoid pain meds. I now have a U pillow and it has made me sooo comfy.
I'm watching this because I started my first today and I was home alone and cried and called an adult till thy answer and told her and she said omg YES......... FINALY LOL
She said no electronics before sleep and I am watching this at 3:45 am, my cramps are killing me, I can't even stand up and everyone is asleep
Alaxa play *Save me*
It’s literal hell because almost every time I do it either ruins my underwear or stains my blanket so -_-
Me 10 watching this 👁👄👁 i feel like when i turn to sleep on my side it feels like a bloody waterfall shwosing in my belly
When I’m sleeping it’s like I’m not on my period 😁
I slept 10 hours a day last week (one week before my period) I got my period yesterday and now I'm waking up too early. And I also have a job intrview tomorrow and it's making me super stressed I hope I can sleep tonight.
I slept on Monday and literally woke up on Wednesday 😥
i sleep at 12 am and i wake up at 12-1pm
Aisha Dolan wow I go to bed at like 3 and I still wake up at like 11
Well currently I'm awake watching this video because whenever I have my period and it leaked all over the place in my sleep. So now I don't wanna go back to sleep afraid I'll leak again. This is the3rd month I had my period. (Literally I'm 14 and the period just punched me out of no where 2 months ago) It's the 5th day period. STOP BLEEDING SO MUCH. I'm having a migrane from this blood loss.
I got a pad ad before this video 😂
Is it ok to just sleep the whole week? Will it harm my body in anyway? Ofc I’ll get up during breaks and change and stuff but is it ok to just sleep?
Hello! First off I really enjoy all your videos , I am new to your channel , I found it through Sara Nourse. I just wanted to say meaning nothing negative but about using all inclusive language . I am studying to be an elementary teacher right now and I just had a lesson on why you should not use the phrase " you guys" because it does not include the other gender.. Females. Now when I first heard this I was like well that seems a bit extremely however I have been paying attention to it and realize it is a bad habit that we all do. So now I have been trying to switch to using "hello everyone " or " welcome all" and it actually has made a difference. I think it is more positive and inclusion to everyone no matter the audience. Please do not take this as an attack just a little side note to think about and thank you for making great videos. Looking forward to future ones. Cheers 🙂
I bearly got my period yesterday
I definitely sleep more on my period and take multiple naps on the 1st and 2nd day.
Me on my period at 4:33am watching this on my phone👁👄👁
Sleep but it’s 3:37 am??? Help I had my very first period yesterday and this night has been terrible if my body wanted sleep why did wake me up just for a little leak??
my naps during the day or more than 2 hours during when I'm on my period
i want to sleep all the time but like i just woke up at 1am from this torture it hurts so muchhh..
I have not sleep more then 2 hours a night all week from my period please help!
Hello! I sleep alot when i'm on my period, i'm always sleepy, is that normal?
Hiii i am watching this at 7:25.i can't sleep on my period. I start sleeping and my stomach hurts head and wanted to vromit. This is the reason i can't sleep.. and i wanted to sleep but i can,t.and how. to deal with it especially in school time. and the pain is hurts and i am always crying when i have my period. Love y all😊😊😍😍💔
Once she said sleep early...I can’t I lost it lol
Ok, I don’t feel pain on my period, this is my first period also my first night, im just scared of leaking the damn blood on my sheets, I used a pad on the inside and outside and im still stressed-
I sleep very late (every day) maybe thats the reason why my period doesnt do what it needs to do;-; IM SO stressed out because its been 2 months and i dont have red blood;-;
Caitlin.Kawaii you should probably see a doctor if it still isn’t blood or do some research. I’m not really an expert when it comes to this stuff cause I just got my very first period recently lol
Is it normal to feel sick on your period at night?
I wish I could give my body what it needs but I gotta work woo! But usually sleep doesn't even help...I'm constantly tired hungry irritated so no help :/
I get insomnia 1-2 days before my period and during, I wake up feeling restless, maybe it’s because of all the stress I’m constantly going through plus the hormonal surge 🥴👍🏻
So I dont get cramps alot i do and if i do it's like my body is trying kill me but i thankfully dont get them alot but sleeping on my period is like hell wearing a pad is like wearing a diaper I wear tampons so wearing a pair is just to noticeable and uncomfortable that it keeps my up all night so my way is just putting a towel underneath me and sleep pantsless without underwear too now I know what your thinking EW GROSS but it's the only way for me to get a decent rest and in the morning I usually shower so my area and inner thighs aren't covered with blood the whole day
Do any of yall have really realistic nightmares while on ur period? I just had a dream and im kinda traumatized by it
I wish I could sleep in a bit but I cannoooottt lol. Sooo I take nap instead if I need it lol
Someone help I CAN'T SLEEPP
Why is it so hard to sleep 😢
Her: sleep early!
*me watching this on* 6:00
I always leak and I can only sleep for like two hours because I’m sooo uncomfortable. I need some HELPPP
What do you use during the night? I always like to use a cup and then my heavy flow period underwear (if I'm worried about leaking). And are you uncomfortable because of cramps? Do you have a heating pad with a timed shut off or a hot water bottle you can use?
FemmeHead I usually use two pads I the “T” shape and I don’t really get cramps. But I will try some of your suggestions. Thanks!
I’m in bed crying my eyes out because of STUPID cramps!!!! 😭😭😭😭
It’s uncomfortable especially for your first period ever, it’s kinda like a stabbing experience
I’m on my period. Have school tomorrow. I’m sickish. AND I can’t sleep. WoOoOoOw
I just woke up nd saw leaks..i ws so so so angry!! Then i came back to my bed after changing now i am afraid dat will it again leak..Nd know i cant sleep so watching dis at 3:55 am..😫😫😫😫
Oh I put a towel down on my bed when I'm worried about leaks. Every now and then I just have a super heavy flow that will go through a cup and a pair of high absorbency period underwear.
When I'm on my period I'm constpatid
*does an all nighter, 4:14 am,*
“Im gonna go to bed soon but im on my period, how do i sleep comfortably ?!”
“Dont use electronics an hour before bed”
“Fuck”
I'm a male
Her ; go to sleep now
Me:it is really 5:03
I always sleep on a towel
what-
@@layan-ox9ug ?
I can’t sleep. I been trying to find ways to sleep 😭 and if I sleep, every few minutes I wake up to go the bathroom. ☹️ anymore tips anyone?
Why are you having to go to the bathroom every few minutes? Because you're leaking? Have to pee? If you feel like you're leaking I recommend doubling up with either a cup or tampon as well as a pad or period underwear. And if it's because you're worried you're leaking just throw down a towel to take away the anxiety of leaking onto your bed.
Who's on their period?
What the heck is menstrual coaching??😂
Don't mean to sound like I'm making fun or anything, I've just never heard of that before and can't think of what that entails
Lauren Goldie she teaches people how to chart their cycles, to figure out naturally what point of the cycle you are at via body temp and cervical fluid, if done well iflt can be used as a natural form of birth control cutting out the need for hormonal birth control which isnt wonderful for us 😑
It's a term that best fits what I do. It's not a health coach or a life coach. I help women and girls learn more about their cycles, learn to chart, and to build a better relationship to their periods/cycles.
FemmeHead oh! Ya that's really cool😊 Hey, I was wondering do you still do a book club? I was scrolling through your old vids and saw that you used to do a online book club. I would LOVE to bra apart of that. Please tell me you still do it??
