Sleep Info holds the great answer

CH's and tiredness seem to co-exist together although who knows which causes which.
Coffee, caffeine and energy drinks can abort CH's.
Afternoon naps can trigger CH's.
It seems that there's a definate connection between sleep and CH's. Who knows, maybe that's where the great mystery of what causes CH lies. Maybe one day they'll find out. There seem to be lots of clues there for any doctor who can be bothered.

REM sleep stage has a direct connection with CH attacks, as it triggers an attack for many.
Also, many of us have sleep apnea, which reduces the amount of O2 to the brain when the O2 saturation levels fall.
PS.
1 Hypothalamus for sale. Slightly damaged but hardly ever used.

Maybe bad hypothalamus, but decrease in breathing/oxygen rate during sleep a definite factor IMO.

Try some melatonin (9-15mg) before bedtime. This will get you thru the REM sleep (most of the time). Keeps down the exhaustion.

Hypothalmus controls seratonin (sp?). It kicks in during REM sleep.
Broken Hypothalmus=busted brain chemicals=cluster headache.

Don't knock it
Mine began at 13. I assume its due to a hormone change, but I could be way off base.

Giovanni 37, me 37 (diagnosed) Sean 13, Jasper 3.
How the hell do we find anything common in that?!
My personal belief is something triggers it as for coeliac diasease, diabetes and so on. I think CH is something that lies dormant until something kicks it off.

One common thing though is once it starts, you're stuck with it.

I was considering that as well if I get fed up with being med-free. I don't want to go back on meds but know that I certainly can live a full life without a uterus

Except that you will never be able to find things that are lost. A uterus is mandatory for that. It works on the same principle as a homing device. And just because a woman has her uterus removed doesn't mean she loses her ability to find things. It's in the DNA. Hence, transgender "women" still need a real woman to help find things.
This is all true. My wife told me so. Now where did I put my goddamned keys?
