SYNOPSIS The relationship between sleep and headache has been known for over a century. Sleep represents the only well documented behavioral state related to the occurrence of some headache syndrome. Liveing 1 in 1873, wrote about the effect of sleep in terminating an attack of headache. Bing 2 also, noted this relationship when he wrote about early morning headaches. Gans 3 reported a decrease in frequency and severity of migraine attacks following selective ‘deep‐sleep deprivation.’ Dreams 4 leading to headache have been reported. Quite obviously, headache also finds a place in the classification of sleep disorders. 5 This very important relationship between sleep and headache is the subject of this clinical review.
