Do you get hit when you nap???

I don't know how it goes with anyone else but, when I'm in cycle, a nap is almost a promise to get slammed really bad.
Yesterday, I did my normal Sunday afternoon thing. Turn on the NASCAR race, watch the first hundred laps, fall asleep for a little power nap, WHAM!!!! I woke up with a screaming head.
The only time I ever get hit bad in the day time is if I take a nap. Otherwise, it's just shadows and the big ones come at night.

I've seen quite a few folks complain about that Pat. Especially the folks who get hit at night. It makes sense. If you get hit because of your sleep stages, naps would have stages also.
Personally, it's not a problem for me. I almost never get hit at night either. Which must mean I go through my sleep stages when I'm awake.  Hmmmm
Might explain a few things.

Hi EEB,
How's it going? I finally (!!!!) had a 2 hour nap this afternoon and didn't wake up to a killer HA (ok, I did have a crunchy neck but no murderous head). I had taken a downer to get me to sleep but in the past that hadn't made a difference, the CHs would be hammering painfully on the inside of my head within about half an hour.
I'll see what happens tonight and will report back.
Good luck
Marta

For me a nap really doesn't trigger. My hits are pretty much same time everyday both day & night. If I where to nap at the normal hit time, then of course I'll wake with an attack. Episodic...

I also make sure I nap for
less than 1/2 hour or
more than 2 hours...
otherwise....watch out.
but then again, I don't usually get severe night hits.
Lucky me...I get them at 7pm, just in time to miss
my favorite Tv shows.....

Alcohol doesnt trigger my attacks, but a nap surely does.

Hi EEB,
Right, I had an attack at half past two last night and again at seven this morning. I took a shot of imigram (trex?) at half two and I took a teeny tiny bit of a shot this am. I'm feeling fine now but for how long..................? I also didn't take my verapamil last night and I'm sure my BP has already gone up some which has helped loads.
The journey continues.
Good luck to you, ok?
Marta

According to this.

You are 98??? I know that's not right but I've heard it's pretty close.
Marta,
I know what you mean about the crunchy neck. I have it right now and expect to have it for at least another 6 - 8 weeks.
No hits last night because I stayed up all night working at my computer.

From Prof. Goadsby:
Quote:General measures and patient education
Patients should be advised to abstain from alcohol during the cluster bout. Otherwise, dietary factors seem to have little importance in CH. Anecdotal evidence suggest that patients should be cautioned against prolonged exposure to volatile substances, such as solvents and oil-based paints. They should be instructed to avoid afternoon naps because sleeping can precipitate attacks in some patients.

Naps that last more than 45 minutes usually trigger killer hits for me.

ALWAYS! So when I'm in a cluster episode, I have to be very careful not to nap, or I'll wake up with a killer. Even sitting still too quietly can trigger them, so I tend to be more hyper than usual during episodes, finding lots to do during the day so I'm not even tempted to nap. And the worst is those rare times when I acciodentally fall asleep at the pool, in the shade, then the sun invades the shady spot while I'm asleep -- INSTANT TRIGGER!
With the new theories tying the hypothalamus and CH, and the hypo's role in regulating awake-sleep cycles, there must be something about napping that disrupts the cycle and ultimately results in pain.
Just my guesses...

It used to not bother me, but the last nap I had I woke up the a strong shadow. Now I have to keep busy all day. The minute I sit down I feel shadows coming on. I get hit around 6pm and 10pm most of the time. Maybe because it's my down time. Who knows. I love taking naps,but now I'm scared.

I get hit when I nap, every time, no matter how long I nap. Most my hits come when I sleep, so it makes sense.
So I don't nap when in cycle now.
When I first joined this board, I read somewhere that "naps R not us".
Sums it up pretty well.

Question for all of you. My mom commented to me that I've always had trouble with napping -- I apparently stopped napping very young, to the consternation of my caretakers, and when I do nap I often feel groggy upon awakening. I have always had good sleep at night, though (well, 'til menopause, which disrupts it). I'm wondering whether anyone else here was an early no-napper (like before age 2 1/2 to 3), and whether there might be something programmed into us that inherently makes napping a sleep disruptor, which then triggers the devil. My hubby can nap and feel great, but our son (who takes after me in so many ways) was also an early non-napper, and I don't want him to suffer these as he gets older. Just curious...
