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?

I'm sorry you were going through that, I take it by your use of past tense you no longer have that issue? If so I don't suppose you know what could have fixed it? Hope you're doing better now :)

Yeah I think it went away at the start of my 30s. Definitely glad it's not a worry anymore.

I can still get stress or dehydration headaches, but no constant small one that breaks through to eye stabbing with my heartbeat.

I have heard it is common for them to go away by 30s.

Very interesting, I really would like to know more about why that happens. A few people here said their migraines went away as they got older.
