The relationship between sleep and sleep disorders and headache remains unclear. Clinical experience and numerous studies document some sort of relationship, but the exact nature remains understudied and complex. Changes in sleep duration and sleep quality appear to be capable of affecting headaches of different types. Obstructive sleep apnea can cause or exacerbate headaches in a susceptible person. Obstructive sleep apnea also may cause a specific headache when awakening, which is different from migraine or tension headache and disappears after treatment of the sleep and breathing disturbance. Hypnic headache is another type of sleep-exclusive headache that has been proposed. Hypnic headaches are brief, moderately severe, and affect the elderly primarily.
睡眠及睡眠障碍与头痛之间的关系仍不明确。临床经验和众多研究证明了它们之间存在某种联系，但确切性质仍有待深入研究且较为复杂。睡眠时间和睡眠质量的变化似乎能够影响不同类型的头痛。阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停可在易感人群中引发或加重头痛。阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停还可能在醒来时引发一种特定类型的头痛，这种头痛与偏头痛或紧张性头痛不同，在睡眠和呼吸障碍得到治疗后会消失。睡眠期头痛是另一种已被提出的仅在睡眠时出现的头痛类型。睡眠期头痛发作短暂、程度中等，主要影响老年人。
