Sleep Well
There is a close association between migraine and sleep. Studies have shown that migraine attacks tend to happen from 4 a.m. to 9 a.m, which may indicate a timing mechanism linked to circadian rhythms or sleep. Sleeping too little or too much may trigger an attack, while migraine symptoms may affect your sleep quality. Similarly, jet lag and working in shifts would be a trigger of migraine in many people. For these reasons, people with migraines should sleep well. Some useful tips include:
– Go to sleep and wake up at the same time each day
– Make sure your sleeping room is cool, dark, and silent
– Avoid big meals, exercises, and digital devices before bedtime
– Avoid alcohol or caffeine a few hours before bedtime [4]
