Sleep Paterns

Thanks for the replys I got. I saw a show on the science channel about headaches and CH. They said one of the most causes is change in sleep patterns.
I have been working Sunday through Thursday 2pm to 11pm for over 10 years. Then for whatever reason corporate decides to change my schedule on Sunday and Monday only to 5am-2pm. When I get off work Monday at 2pm I am totally exhausted, but take a nap and wake up at 8 or 9pm. Then I get back into my normal routine and go to bed Monday night like normal. But I think this is what triggers my Tuesday 7am attack. I think it is the aftermath of the two early shifts. I go the whole week just fine, but I sure do dread Tuesday.
This week, fortunately, one of the other managers is ill, and I get to work my age old schedule. It will be real interesting to see if I get an attack Tuesday.

I have found that if I don't pay close attention to my sleeping patterns and get over-tired it can trigger an attack. I work a rotating shift.....graveyard for 7 days, 2 off, dayshift for 5 days, 4 off, swing shift for 7 days, 2 off, dayshift for 6 days, 2 off.......repeat. Been doing this for 35+ years. I like it but I must be sure to pay attention to what time it is.
Cluster attacks come on during REM sleep mode, usually about a hour after falling asleep. You might try some Benedryl (sp?) or melatonin before bed time. Sleeping with the head elevated or in the La-Z-Boy helps too.
Welcome to the board.
