For me sleeping just helps one escape the migraine pain for the duration of the sleep.
Try having caffiene as soon as you feel a migraine coming on. My Dr prescribes me 2xpanadol and 2xibuprofen (Neurofen) taken at once as soon as I feel one coming on and it works pretty well.

Certainly caffeine works well for some people like the above contributor. Hence the success of Excedrin Migraine. However for me, the only way I can "break" my migraines is if I am able to sleep. I have to take medication prescribed by my neurologist, as neither tylenol (panadol) nor ibuprofen touches my migraines. Hope you find some relief.

Can Percocet be used to treat migraines?
Percocet can be used to treat the pain of a migraine. If the patient responds well to the Percocet, they may find that they notice very little, to none of their pain, and are able to wait out the length of the migraine. It is important to note that in most people, Percocet will simply be a band-aid, and may not sufficiently treat the other symptoms of migraine, such as nausea/vomiting (although in some people, a decrease in pain will ease this), sensitivity to light and sound, and aura. It also important to note that if you have frequent headaches and/or migraines, you need to watch how often you are taking these types of preparations to treat your pain (yes, this includes OTC meds like Excedrin, Tylenol, and Advil). Using them more than 2-3 days every week, or more than half the days of a month, can predispose a person to rebound headache, which can result in Chronic Daily Headache. And the only way to get rid of rebound headache is to stop taking all the meds that you've been over-taking to treat the headache, and wait through the pain until you are out of the cycle. So it important to NOT get yourself in that cycle.
