since my teenage years i used to sleep alot. i used to sleep 9 hours on weekdays , on weekend i slept 10-12hours. i did that until now. now i'm 26yrs old, doing a job but recently my job was changed now i have to work 6.00am-10am and 5.00pm-11.30pm. a morning and a night shift.

so I've been trying sleep less for only 7-6 hrs a day but it's causing either migraine (i'm a mild migraine sufferer. had consulted doctors few times for it) or a tension headache on the right side of my head. now i have a headache at least once every 3 days and rely on painkillers. (paracetamol)

my question is will it go away if i stick to my new sleeping schedule? should i see a doctor?

btw i don't live a very healthy lifestyle. i don't do exercises and don't eat much healthier food. i drink alot of water though and cut back on coffee.
