When you get a nasty headache, it is either you take an aspirin or some form of medication or sleep it out. But the problem of sleeping it out may lead to insomnia since sleeping at the unusual part of the day may leave you awake in the evenings.
Headache sufferers often treat their pain by taking naps to sleep it off, but they run the risk of developing insomnia by disrupting their normal sleep patterns and perpetuating the cycle of headaches, a new study shows.
“Going to sleep was one of the main things people tried to treat their headaches, and they rated it a very effective treatment,” said study author Jason C. Ong, an assistant professor of behavioral sciences at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. “It could be that people are taking naps or using sleep as a way to try to cope with pain, but that could actually lead to more sleep disturbance at night.”
