Your period tends to make you very uncomfortable not only with sleeping, but with cramps, pains, etc. However, as I mentioned, this is completely normal and is what is supposed to happen. Some girls have periods worse than others, and/or different from others. But here are some things you can do to make it as comfortable as possible:
1. To help with the discharge, wear pantyliners (pantyliners are just about like pad, only thinner and are used for discharge).

Just remember to keep yourself warm, k? Especially during wintertime...if you haven't experienced cramps yet - i hope you don't ever get to - that's totally normal too. It's different with every person, in fact.
