Slice of Chaotic Life

I have never before had migraine in the night – the only trigger has ever been reading in intense light, either direct sunlight or lightly cloudy. But tonight I started to get bright shining colors in my field of vision at 1 AM, just before I was supposed to go to bed. This worried me a bit since it did not follow the usual pattern, and I briefly wondered if it was something else, like a stroke or a tumor. But acting on the most likely explanation, I put on 1Hz brainwave entrainment. The aura soon stopped growing, then faded, and I fell asleep in my chair.

I am not sure what would have happened had not my Ingress alert woken me up 45 minutes or so later. But it did. At first I had only a slight headache, but it has grown stronger since, and I am not also queasy. At least in this regard it follows the pattern of a migraine, so that is good.
