i can not fall asleep. I have been trying to but my cramps are keeping me awake. i have tried motrin, read my book, and layed down, its quiet. i have been laying down for about 3 hours now and can not fall asleep. The even worse part is that this is my first day, my period lasts for a week, and my cramps hurt every single minute of it. I can't take it!!!!!!!!! What should I do to fall asleep? its like 2:00 here and im super tired.
Thanks for the answers!

A heating pad or a hot water bottle can also be helpful with cramping. I also find that eating things rich in iron during this time by eating things like: spinach, raisins, and peanut butter (if not allergic to peanuts of course).
Because of how severe the cramping is I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they think could be causing this.

Try a heating pad, and more motrin. The trick to motrin is to start taking it just before your period starts and keep taking it on a regular schedule for a few days or as long as cramps last. I feel for you ,kid, they can be murder. Be sure to take a strong enough dose of motrin,

Heating pads (or your dog) are great to soothe cramps. If they are AWFUL you may want to talk to a doctor, and she may put you on birth control.
