Being a daytimer myself, I believe in the judicious use of caffeine.  Doesn't work for everyone and some people say it is their trigger.  I was on my way to a meeting the other morning and was just getting a light pressure in the usual spot.  Stopped into a convenience store for a coke, had a cup of coffee in the waiting area and went into the meeting and no one knew a thing (except I talked a lot).

If I absolutely couldn't get a CH for an hour or 2 I would pop a nodoz(caffeine pill) and that would cover me.  I know some people can't do caffeine, but lots of us can.

Also treating with 'alternative treatments' (clusterbusters.com) having very good results.  Pretty much negated this cycle.

There is life with our clusters.  Hang in there!

Ya'll might try starting melatonin at night before bedtime. I've been doing it for years and I sleep thru the night. It gets me the rest I need to fight the day hits.

And ya might try keeping a Red Bull (or another energy drink) handy for the first sign of  a hit. It will sometimes abort a hit in its tracks.

Of course O2 is my mainstay for aborts. I keep Red Bull handy for those "stubborn" hits, but usually the O2 does the trick. (I use the demand valve and it's great).
