Sometimes, i have sudden pain in eye while sleeping. what could be the reason?

Cluster headache: Unilateral headache, depending on the severity could be cluster headache. If this headache is very severe you should get it checked out. It is espcially more likely if it you are a younger male, have increasing tear production and redness.
