maybe its how you hold your neck?
Doc is the best way to go here.
however, if its a neck issue, maybe try a differnt pillow or a hot shower on your neck muscles, maybe get a relative or friend to massage your neck muscles?
Just to see you know? Maybe its your neck, maybe its not but the doc is the best way to go

Staying up late hinders your sleeping patterns. The best thing to do would be to switch your routine so that you study early in the morning, and then go to sleep at a more regulatory hour. Of course, as a fellow night-owl, I know that's not likely to change. The best thing is a healthy diet, and being physically active. Exercise during the day, but not right before bed. Before sleeping, put something heavy in your stomach like warmed milk. Also, turkey contains L-tryptophan, an amino acid that causes you to be sleepy. Sitting at the computer is causing that knot in your back. Your arms are out in front, and your shoulders rounded. Gets than spot at the base of your neck, between your shoulder blades, doesn't it? You're really supposed to stretch every 1-2 hours when on the computer. Do all those cheesy shoulder rolls, drop your head and then wind it up to the left, drop your head again, and wind it up to the right, tilt it side-to-side. Doing those stretches really will improve your soreness. Stay away from caffeine, that clogs the receptors in your brain that tell you when you're tired. Having a routine at night reminds your body when it's time to start to shut down. If you're trying to sleep but can't, the worst thing to do is to get up & do stuff. Keep lying there, relaxing. At least your body will get some rest. Next, empty out your mind. Erase any thoughts that are running through your head. Try to think of nothing (even though that's pretty much impossible). When I can't sleep, I try to think of nothing, I just focus on trying not to think, watch the darkness behind your lids. It must work, because I never remember anything after that! lol.

Your body works in sleep cycles.
8 hours is the general time of a sleep cycle.
When you sleep for 5 do you notice your really tired??
Anyways, this headache is your body's way of saying, don't sleep more than 8 hours.
Because then your going to wake up in the middle of a new sleep cycle, and this is going to make you more tired and feel less rested.

Well if you don't have any medicine on you, try pinching the skin between your thumb and pointer-finger. For some people it helps relieve the pain and pressure temorarily, but for some people it just doesn't work.

Not sleeping, or try developing insomnia.
