I have been pain free for almost 2 years thanks to Sansert and clean living. My sleep patterns have never returned to normal since being chronic for 10 years. Every night i go to bed around 11, wake up around 2, get up and have a cigarette, sleep until 5, have another smoke, become fully awake again and then sleep until 7 or so. I can still feel the cluster centre, painless but lurking, and i feel fine but i have the distinct feeling that if i slept a full 8 hours that the pain might return. I hope this helps someone with their pain. The first cluster of my night used to be after an hour or hour and a half of sleep so this waking up doesn't seem to prevent them but it is an odd habit.
