Weird Sleep Patterns

Is it just me or does having migraine disease cause really strange sleep patterns. I developed a migraine about 3:30 yesterday, so I took some Imitrex and decided to lay down until my husband got home. All I remember was him coming upstairs at some point and asking me if I wanted dinner. I heard a few noises here and there, but the next thing I knew, it was 6:00 am. Oh my, I can’t believe I slept so long. Of course the stress of my life doesn’t help because I was up way late the night before. Now, tonight/morning (Friday/Saturday) I am up again! Just when I thought I could go to bed and actually sleep, about 3 am, the baby woke up and has been restless ever since. Ugh! For me, sleep is a loosing battle. I have once again found myself back in the battle of balancing migraine care and real life. Sometimes, they just don’t go together. I’ve also been super stressed out lately. Lots of personal stuff going on, so that has caused some depression and anxiety. I think it will come to an end soon, so that is good, but in the meantime it really sucks. I’ve also just been really starting to digest the fact that having three small children doesn’t always allow you to do what you need. Rather it is lack of time, sleep, patience, money, etc… Although, I will say rather strongly that I love them dearly and think they are such a blessing!
