Yes, leading to seizures eventually. Sleep deprivation, specifically if accumulated over longer periods of time results in impairment in motor and cognitive performance as well.

Yes, headaches can be triggered by many internal and external events, and a sleep disorder is included. Your insomnia should be evaluated. An overnight sleep study may help analyze what is occurring, so, see your doctor and start getting answers.

Chronic lack of sleep can do more damage than just a headache. Try to get 8 hours of sleep in a day. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
