When I get a lack of sleep (or especially multiple nights of bad sleep), I often have a splitting headache the next day that makes me unfunctional and worsens until I get more sleep. Other people I’m with have the exact same sleeping routines and never get any headaches, and can still function despite being tired. What’s wrong with me?

    While this sounds scary, I don’t know what I am supposed to do to address the issue. I can’t force myself to sleep an extra 3-4 hours a night. I just wake up and can’t fall back asleep.

      Plus, telling us that a lack of sleep is going to be doom to us later doesn’t help us sleep at night, right?

      I am on a cycle right now where I can’t sleep without ambien and 300mcg melatonin. I’ve struggled with falling and/or staying asleep my whole life. My brain will calm down some and ill taper off of the ambien again at some point.

      Besides the long term health, i am just not a pleasure to be around if i run on no sleep.
