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?

    You might be overly sensitive to caffeine. I can’t have caffeine after, say, 1pm, or it will make my sleep restless. Maybe try no caffeine after breakfast.

    Another possibility is maybe you’d do better working nights. Then you sleep during the day.

      I never drink caffeine, maybe I should :)

      Appreciate your advice, but sometimes I’d actually rather go on little sleep if I were able to function properly. The pursuit of actually getting proper sleep is sort of a whole different ball game hahah, but sometimes I’d rather not try to if that makes sense, so that I have more hours to get things done.
