Uh....duh....this may sound really stupid, but I thought everyone with CH got hit at night.  The night hits for me are those that nothing will stop, they come every night just like clockwork.
 
Are there really ch'ers that don't get that rem hit?

I just posed that question for noobs who may have not tried melatonin yet.  It's just a friendly reminder. Grin

Ya, that's how mine start....2am, 5, 7, 9, like as everyone says, "clockwork".  Then the daytime hammers begin, usually at 1pm and 4pm and if I'm really unlucky 9 and 11 also.  Melatonin hasn't done anything for me yet.  I've been taking it for 2 weeks now, started at 9mg then uped it to 11mg and now I'm back to 9mg.  I took 1 benedryl  with it tonight (don't have to work tomorrow, just in case) we'll see how this turns out.  Anyway in a kinda' sick way I'm glad to see the daytime hits start.  It lets me know my cycle is progressing and these days it always has to get worse before it gets better.  The sooner I scream..........the sooner it's over.
 
 
             Take care all

I don't sleep before 1 am or I will get hit. I stay up till around 1:30 to 2 am, then I sleep till 4:30 when I get up for work. Melatonin never worked for me. I'm used to it now. I don't dream much anymore. Sometimes I'll sleep a little longer. I rarely get woken up with a hit anymore. If I sleep too long, like over 4 hours, I'll get hit right after I wake up.
 
Being woken up with a hit is the worst. It's already gone on too long to stop it most of the time.

Sleep?, I fear sleep.....  I've never got hit during the day, except when just waking up, but when I sleep it's just like clockwork, about 60-90 minutes and BAM!  Interesting thing I've noted this time around, I've been trying melatonin and all it does is move the attacks further into the night, if I take more than 3mg the first attack doesn't hit until about 2-3 hrs after I fall asleep, anymore than 6 and I don't get hit until I wake up.  I've learned I would rather have the first hit early, abort, then get some good sleep rather than putting it off until morning when I have to get up and get going.  Just my 2 cents.
