I would not immediately worry that sleep problems will plague you forever.
I never experienced what you describe about head pains relating to sleep. Have you discussed this with your psychiatrist? It is possible that such an experience could have various causes. I suppose figuring out what it is is important. Perhaps your psychiatrist can assist with this, or maybe they can refer you to a different kind of doctor to investigate it. I'm not sure what type of doctor is best for such an investigation. Neurologist? I don't know.

Thank you! I was thinking about switching doctors and the new dr told me that once my sleep improves then we will know for sure if that’s what’s causing it. I’m going to mention it to my regular dr. I can’t remember if I told them or not.
That’s good to know that it can change. I was hoping that’s the case. It’s just been such a battle trying to sleep. Last night I woke up after 1 hour then after 2 hours of sleep. I could t sleep more than 2 hours at a time. Thankfully that meditation video puts me back to sleep. Having only one hour is horrible!!
