L Kudrow (author of numerous articles on ch) suggests
his patients take 1 wigraine at bedtime
every night, throughout the cluster period to prevent
clusters occuring during the sleeping period. Though this
dosage is a little higher than that recomended
(14 mg vs recomended 10 mg/week), Kudrow felt that
the possibility of ergotamine overdosage is minimal.
I follow this regimen for each cluster period
and it does allow me to sleep throughout the night.
I must add, however, that I do have rebound ha for about
three to four days at the end of my cluster period after
stopping the wigraine.
Good luck
