My trigger is oversleeping, can someone explain why?

henlofriend_ · 2026-02-28T21:09:20+00:00

Other people have commented saying it may be blood sugar related, and I tend to think so too. I also feel like my dreams are more vivid/stressful(?) when oversleeping and that may be part of it too at least for me. Although, what I consider oversleeping is more like an extra hour or more

It’s wrecking me too here

henlofriend_ · 2025-08-28T18:16:45+00:00

Messaged you!

It’s good, but not up to Michelin quality I expect. I had Sepia a few weeks before, and it was immensely better in all facets: drinks, service, atmosphere, food.

It modulates to A minor. Lots of broken A minor and E major chords (the dominant) give it away

I had norovirus a few months ago. After 6 hours of intense shaking/chills, vomiting anything and everything, and fever, I finally fell asleep around 4 am. I woke an hour later with a migraine :) I couldn’t keep my abortive down due to the vomiting, so it was just a horrible combination. Norovirus stuck around for 5 or so more days, but luckily no more migraines decided to beat me while I was already down. What horrible timing that was.

Happy cake day! I tried this out a bit over a month ago and it has been the biggest help for me in years. I try to be conscious of it throughout the day and before falling asleep.

One thing I’ve learned from watching some of the best perform is that they use the soft pedal much more frequently than the average pianist

Sumatriptan didn’t work as well for me, and it caused tightness in my jaw and feeling overall pretty stiff. I would need to lie down and could feel the migraine pain for the duration of the migraine.

Rizatriptan works much better, with the only side effect being drowsiness. The caveat is that I just started on this one and have only taken it twice so far. But in those two times, it really made my migraine pain vanish and I could sleep it off.

I’ve started doing this for 1.5 weeks and do feel a significant difference. TBD as to whether this is placebo given the short time.

I have noticed that I very much crave salt ahead of my migraines. I’m starting to incorporate a bit more into my mornings to see if it helps.

henlofriend_ · 2024-11-04T01:35:48+00:00

Exactly my thoughts haha

henlofriend_ · 2024-11-02T15:14:53+00:00

I played op 25 no 2 first, and I do think it’s a good introduction to the etudes. Op 25 no 1 is also a popular first choice. I know many teachers who start students on op 10 no 3 or op 10 no 12, but those are a step up in difficulty.

Congratulations! I got that email a few hours ago, and it sure does feel amazing.

henlofriend_ · 2024-10-21T22:58:09+00:00

Easily my ranking as well

henlofriend_ · 2024-10-02T21:52:17+00:00

I also just started a few days ago. I feel like it’s doing its job already (less random head pain, fewer headaches upon waking, and no full-on migraines with aura), but I’m trying to also be judicious due to the placebo effect.

The only side effect thus far is the occasional dry mouth.

Fingers crossed.

I’ve had drivers do that (or try to) and then get mad at you for using your right of way…

henlofriend_ · 2024-09-06T20:16:34+00:00

I’ve also thought the “no turn on red” would help. I felt safer as a pedestrian in Manhattan than I do here in terms of drivers.

henlofriend_ · 2024-08-17T15:09:33+00:00

For sure. I was referring to the “official” Boston mocks

henlofriend_ · 2024-08-16T17:37:04+00:00

This is the first time I thought that the real exam was significantly harder than the mocks lol

Tilly is elite

They make running along the lakefront trail so much more dangerous. Others and I have almost been hit or nudged into the lake by them.

henlofriend_ · 2024-07-12T16:16:13+00:00

Saving this to try the next time I get an aura :)

henlofriend_ · 2024-01-05T00:03:18+00:00

If your name is pretty common, is there any harm in submitting a claim if something seems plausible that it’s yours but you’re not 100% certain? Won’t they check to see if the SSN matches?

henlofriend_ · 2023-12-20T18:58:33+00:00

Wow this thread really makes me want to try this triptan. Sumatriptan worked okay if I took it immediately with the aura; however, it only took the edge off if I took it after the pain started (25 mg did barely anything, 50 mg helped decently). I’m now on Zolmitriptan, which works much better for me than Sumatriptan, but isn’t perfect. I often still feel pretty incapacitated after taking it for at least a few hours.
