behaviouralSleep and migraine are deeply connected—but how exactly does sleep affect migraine severity and frequency? In this episode, we break down the science behind the migraine–sleep relationship and explain why poor sleep quality is strongly linked to more severe migraine attacks.

Based on clinical research, we discuss how both too little and too much sleep can trigger migraines, and why sleep disorders such as insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, and restless legs syndrome are commonly seen in people with migraines. We also explore shared biological pathways involving the hypothalamus and key neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine that help explain this connection.

You’ll learn how improving sleep quality—through consistent sleep routines, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and targeted interventions like melatonin—can play an important role in migraine prevention and management. This episode highlights why addressing sleep is not optional, but essential, for better migraine control.
