Brief Answer:
Tension headache

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the information.

Based on the history, I suspect you to have Tension headache rather than Migraine.

Such headaches are best treated with tricyclic antidepressant like Amitriptyline taken in the night or before sleeping. Amitriptyline is a prescription drug and you may have to visit your treating doctor for a hand written prescription for the same.
