Nerve impulses travel through nerve fibers via a action potential and the speed at which the impulse travels depends on the type of nerve fibre. This can range from 100m/s in the case of touch to 20-30 m/s when you're thinking.

How do somatic sensory nerve impulses get to the brainstem from the head itself?

Somatic sensory nerve impulses from the head travel through the cranial nerves, such as the trigeminal nerve (V), facial nerve (VII), and glossopharyngeal nerve (IX). These nerves carry sensory information to the brainstem, specifically to the trigeminal nerve nuclei, which process and relay the information to higher brain regions for further processing and perception.
