Cold Pack for Insomnia

I have been sleeping better since I have started to put a gel ice

pack on my eyes and forehead before bed for around 20 min. (I move it

around/ on and off to avoid overdoing it in any one spot). I started

doing it one night when I had a migraine and I could not take any more

aspirin since my tinnitus was already bad. I noticed the next day my

ocular rosacea was much better and also noticed my sleep was improved.

There's

a device called the Ebb which is a water filled cooling thing you strap

to your head at night that is supposed to help with insomnia; I had

considered trying it but it is expensive and seems like it might be

cumbersome and uncomfortable. On a podcast a representative of the

company said they have preliminary data that it may help with vasomotor

symptoms of menopause and I think also headache.

Just a basic cold pack seems to be working for me so I will continue with it.
