Fortunately, most of them were hormonal so getting old has reduced the frequency to one every couple of months or so. Most of the time I can slam some caffeine into my system and abort them. The only really bad ones are the ones that are established when they wake me up. Nothing to do with those except put a pillow over my head and wait them out. Narcs make mine worse.
