Yes, lack of sleep can be a trigger for migraines. Sleep deprivation, irregular sleep patterns, and poor quality sleep can disrupt the delicate balance of chemicals and hormones in the brain, which can trigger a migraine in some people.
Research has shown that people who suffer from migraines are more likely to have sleep problems than those who do not experience migraines. In addition, studies have found that lack of sleep or poor quality sleep can increase the frequency and severity of migraines in people who already suffer from them.
Therefore, it’s important for people who suffer from migraines to prioritize healthy sleep habits, such as maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, avoiding caffeine and alcohol before bedtime, and creating a comfortable sleep environment. If you’re struggling with migraines or sleep problems, it’s a good idea to talk to your doctor to develop an individualized treatment plan.
