Lightbulb could be...
I attended a headache/pain seminar 2 yrs ago, and Melatonin was suggested for cluster headache. (the doctors there said cluster headaches are seasonal and follow changes in circadian rhythms.)

But also I just found this paper, explaining that melatonin may help block NMDA receptors:
http://www.ionchannels.org/showabstr...ium+NMDA+block

This receptor is responsible for many pain signals.

Thanks mrsD.
I've developed a headache trying to read it!
Bit too technical for my little brain, but i get the point.
I get no sleep benefit, so maybe some headache relief instead.
