Unfortunately our body is mechanised in such a way that adequate sleep is a must, and if one cannot have adequate sleep due to shift work, as is your case, catch up sleep would help. If not, the body sends warning through physical problems like headache, as in your case. Hence you would benefit from reflecting on work life balance.
