- Headache disorders and sleep problems are common conditions with a high prevalence in the general population, and impose a considerable socio-economic burden. They show a close association with headache disorders through various relationship. The prevalence of sleep problems is elevated in individuals with headache, especially for migraine. In most headache disorders, sleep problems are accompanied by the deterioration of clinical characteristics
of headache disorders. The sharing brain structures and neurotransmitters involved in the pathogenesis of headache disorders and sleep disorders may be an explanation for the close relationship between two disorders. In this article, we briefly review the relationship of headache disorders with sleep disorders including insomnia, sleep-related breathing disorders, central disorders of hypersomnolence, circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders,
parasomnias, and sleep related movement disorders.

Abstract
- Tension-type headache (TTH) is the most common type of headache, characterized by mild to moderate intensity, bilateral, with a pressing or tightening (non-pulsating) quality. Migraine and TTH can occur in the same person, and their risk factors and treatments can overlap. However, TTH receives less attention than migraine. Furthermore, despite the expanding market for migraine treatments targeting calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) mechanisms, the lack of evidence regarding mechanisms related to CGRP-related mechanisms in TTH continues to be neglected. There remains a need to develop effective preventive treatments for chronic TTH, which imposes a very high burden of disease. From this perspective, this review aims to provide the latest evidence on TTH.
