Ice and take an ibuprofen
Generally, I will have my patients ice before going to bed, then if possible elevate a little and no or light sheet or blanket so your ankle is not twisted or turned while sleeping
With an immobilizer boot on the ankle until it is better.
Try an over-the-counter cloth ankle brace. Otherwise consult with your local podiatrist.
ice and massage before bed, place a pillow under the affected ankle, seek podiatrist or orthopedic consult for the root cause of the pain.
I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for evaluation, diagnosis and treatment options
Have you tried warring a flexible ankle brace when you sleep? This should help mitigate the ankle pain and allow you to get sleep.
