A Brain Characterization in Humans→ Show that even modest nightly changes in sleep quality (increases and decreases) within an individual determine consequential day-to-day changes in experienced pain (decreases and increases, respectively). → Sleep as a novel therapeutic target for pain management within and outside the clinic, including circumstances where sleep is frequently short yet pain is abundant (e.g., the hospital setting).

→ Successful sleep requires a certain level of comfortability, and pain often keeps the body from reaching a state of comfort. As a result, pain impacts your ability to fall asleep and stay asleep
→ Migraines and headaches
