When I got one of my wisdom teeth removed I didn't get completely drugged down, just anesthesia in the mouth. The next few days I could barely open my mouth, so I mostly ate soup, which wasn't all that great..
Ice bags helps a lot, and remember to not use a straw when you drink. It could draw more blood out of your wound. If you're in a lot of pain during the night I suggest you try sleeping with your head higher up. Kind of like sleeping sitting up. This can help ease the pain.
