Brief Answer:
Stress related tension headache

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Headache you get is called tension headache, it does present itself during the same time of the day every episode when you are at rest.

I suggest you to get engaged in mind relaxation exercise like yoga or meditation soon after reaching home.

Medications would help you to get rid of the headache momentarily bur meditation will stop it altogether.

Regards,
