Second trimester insomnia is really tough, especially when your body is exhausted but your mind just won't switch off. I would honestly check with your gynae before trying anything, even supplements like magnesium, because not everything is safe in pregnancy and your doctor can weigh the options properly for you. Some mums find small things help like sleeping with a pillow between the knees, keeping the room cool, or cutting screens earlier in the evening, but if the headaches are adding on top of the poor sleep, that's all the more reason to bring it up at your next appointment rather than wait.
