Yeah, I know when I get complete sleep I'm fine. But it just sucks that other people can go without much sleep and be fine but I can't. It's like that actually prevents me from being awake for as many hours at night than other people can.
It's your body. You can experiment. Check your electrolyte levels, check your blood pressure levels. When people don't get enough sleep their blood pressure tends to go up, they tend to have more cortisol flowing in their bodies. So if your core metrics are on the high side, that might be enough to push you in a headache territory.
Thanks for the help, I will look into this :) I think I have low blood pressure but I'm trying to drink more water.
No they can't. Lack of sleep is always detrimental to a person's health. It just manifests in different ways.
*Cries in insomnia
check if you have sleep apnea. it can fuck your sleep hard without you ever noticing. ask someone if you snore loudly or hold your breath when you sleep as those are typical signs
People that don't get enough sleep still suffer from it, they just might not be getting headaches.
Keep yourself hydrated and get more sleep. Take care of yourself.
Everybody is different. When I don't get enough sleep I have a hard time thinking, and I get these uncontrollable movements. Didn't used to have any issues at all.
