Sadly it's not an option for these. I can't stand to be lying down or really holding still when I have them, and I can't manage to do it myself when I'm in the throes of agony anyway. Cluster headaches are some of the nastiest headaches imaginable, they've literally driven people to suicide in an effort to find relief.

I suppose we could try to cure your headache standing up in the shower...

glad this tribe exists.... i have question 4 you all:

i'm super nocturnal and always have been. I'm blessed with a pretty nocturnal baby (3.5 mo). She typically goes to be bed anywhere between 1 and 5am and we sleep til between maybe noon and 3pmish with one, maybe 2, sometimes 3 feedings in there, and she usually has 2 or 3 naps in the late afternoon/evening. I thought this was great until my big sis started questioning me about it, saying how important it is for babies to sleep in the dark, get sun exposure, etc for their growth. So... is it really that important WHEN they sleep? I thought it was just important that they get enough sleep. I'm a SAHM so it's not like we have a schedule to keep to or anything, nor will we until preschool, which is years away now... and we do take walks in the late afternoon/early evening a lot. Thoughts?

I don't see any reason why it matters what time of day one sleeps (babies included). as long as they do get a reasonable amount of sunlight at some time, so as not to get deficient, and the nocturnal lifestyle is working for you, no worries.
