Same experience here. I've gone through many superstitions regarding it, like living near heavy pesticide use, eating potatoes, refined sugars, brain tumor...

I think the common shared experience of all of us is none of us can tell with absolute sure what triggers it, but we all naturally look for patterns.

Mine were all very connected to relaxing after a stressful time. Most weekends after working an unnecessarily stressful job. I’ve since changed careers and now they are much less common, and also a bit more random, or it’s possible I’m not identifying stressors in my life as well now.
