Had this for years.....

Hi everybody. I am new here and this is my first post. I don't suffer from insomnia as such but I have suffered with bad headaches if I get less than 8 hrs sleep a night for around 15 years now. My doctor has given me sleeping tablets but still when I take them, I sometimes will only get around 7 hrs a night. My headaches make me feel so rough that it totally interferes with my life. For example, I cannot stay over at friends houses or go on holidays etc. Everyone thinks I am successful and sociable but they do not realise I spend half my life stuck indoors as I am too ill to go out. Has anyone heard of this at all??

Thanks,

Kris

Hi, kris! Have you considered the idea that you might suffer from migraines and sleeping more than 8 hours just helps prevent them?
