Sleep is one of the foundations of a healthy nervous system. Poor sleep can increase pain sensitivity, reduce emotional resilience, and make trigeminal neuralgia and painful trigeminal neuropathy more difficult to manage.
Good sleep hygiene, regular sleep schedules, relaxation techniques, daytime light exposure, and cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) may complement medical treatment and help break the cycle of pain and poor sleep.
