Excessive Headaches and/or Migraines
Hello everyone. You can call me Moose.
I've had headaches for as long as I can remember. I used to think it was a combination of stress and bad sleeping habits, but now I really don't know. I have a mild migraine at the moment and I thought that maybe you guys could give me some insight as to what's going on.
First of all, I have a headache at least once a day at some point. It could be mild and sort of linger for the whole day, or turn into a migraine, etc. I've read that you can't get a good nights sleep if you don't have a proper amount of REM sleep. But that's where I get confused. If I have way too little sleep, I get a headache. That's understandable. If I have way too much sleep, I get a headache (usually a migraine). That's also understandable. But then I also get headaches or migraines with anything in between. Every morning my head is pounding. If I get the recommended amount of sleep, I get a headache. If I don't sleep at all and pull an all nighter, I don't get any headaches, haha. Even nights where I have plenty of vivid dreams, maybe a lucid dream, and I sleep soundly through the whole night with no disturbances, I get headaches or migraines. It's not stress either because even during my happiest moments in life, I get headaches. It's ridiculous. I've tried all different amounts of sleep and different qualities of sleep, but I can't figure it out. I'm sick of waking up every morning with a throbbing head. One morning I couldn't even walk that well.
Any insight at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Moose
