Sleep isn’t just rest—it’s a core part of migraine management. 💤
Irregular sleep (too little or too much) can be a trigger for headache and migraine. That’s because your brain thrives on consistency—especially when it comes to regulating pain pathways, stress hormones, and overall nervous system balance.
Aim for quality, not just quantity! Since it's National Sleep Awareness Month, now is a great time to reset your routine:
• Keep a consistent sleep and wake time (even on weekends)
• Limit screen time before bed, or consider wearing blue light blocking glasses
• Create a wind-down ritual to signal your brain it’s time to rest
• Keep the bedroom cool, dark, and quiet.
Small shifts in sleep habits can lead to meaningful improvements in migraine frequency and severity.
