My Partner is causing me migraines, what can I do?

The caption is a bit provocative, but my partner is going through a very stressfull time in his life, leaving him overworked and at an emotionally bad place. When he gets home he stays at work with his thoughts and basicly never gets a rest from it mentally. I would never want him to supress his feelings and he can always rant to me about it and I will always be there for him and listen and hold him when he needs it. But the stress, especially the catastrophically bad sleep is rubbing up on me and the amount of migraines I have atm has increased by a lot. Which obviously also puts me in a bad place. I simply dont know how to get a hold of it. We share a bed, but have our own blankets, I already wear ear plugs but he is turning and tossing around like crazy all night. He is just tired in the mornings but I wake up and can already tell I am getting yet another migraine. Sleep is simply a big trigger for me and I have a light sleep as well. We only have on bed and a small appartment so I also cant sleep elsewhere. I also already tried to go to bed before him to get some sleep in in advance but because he is also really tried he started to go to bed earlier as well.

Maybe I also simply need to rant somewhere and somebody to tell my this too will pass..

As a female wanne be game dev in her twenties I wondered how big the female part of the community is. I think we are quite a few, but most tutorials and dev logs i find online are made by men, which is cool and fine and I am gratefull for all resources, so totally no hate on my end. Its just that sometimes I crave a sense of community that I just havent found yet. Maybe I also just look in the wrong places.

If you want you can treat this post as a space to connect or exchange, but in the end I am over all just curious. And if you are a man you are of course also welcome, as I said no hate over here.

I myself am working with godot since october and am trying myself at a 2d, topdown, pixelart game (i know very original of me)

Edit: Thank you all for the replies!! I didnt expect that much engagement and I will probably need some time to read it all and also check out all the recommendations
