Hi, @kjs1255, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. So that you can connect with others discussing hypnic headache, I've moved your post here:

- Want to connect with people dealing with hypnic headaches https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/trying-to-connect-with-people-dealing-with-hypnic-headaches

Hoping members like @kmsb @taterjoy @leannestork in this discussion can empathize with your situation and provide some support and ideas. I also thought members like @lisafl @dawn_giacabazi @cherylsd @lulu1962 @lauriedr @shaylala @bernese53 @gussie @kdubois might like to join this discussion. These members may have thoughts on managing hypnic headache with avoiding food triggers or standing upright. They also may have tips and tricks of their own for headache management.

kjs1255 - how are your hypnic headaches affecting your sleep this month? Are you waking up with them frequently?
