Lack of sleep

[kevinthenerd]

A lot of times when I go without enough sleep, I get headaches, but the strange thing is that I don't always get them. What exactly causes them, and how can I prevent them and still go without sleep? Sometimes even high does of caffeine aren't enough for me to ignore them.

advil, tylenol, motrin, aspirin

A short nap usually isn't enough to make a headache go away, IME. Actually, it usually makes them worse, for me.

It's a combination of factors.

I usually find myself being cold more often when I'm going on very little sleep

make sure you only take the recommended dose of the tylenol/aspirin/etc. taking more doesn't make it act faster and can hurt your body.
