Insomnia and Migraine

Posted on January 25, 2008 in Conditions and Diseases

Insomnia and migraine are interrelated. A person with insomnia can easily develop migraine and having a migraine often leads to insomnia. The combination of two can cause change in mood, serious behavioral and other problems.

Once you develop headache or migraine due to insomnia, you are at a greater risk of developing less efficient and more disruption in sleep. A study published in Headache, a journal of the American Headache Society shows links between poor quality sleep and migraine.

    It is 1:45 in the morning, Oct 20, 08. For the past two nights now I have had a migraine. It would get better as the day progressed, but as soon as I try and go to sleep (mind you, NOT laying down and watching tv but trying to sleep) my migraine would suddenly get severe. Last night was bad enough that I wanted to go to the hospital but the nearest one is 40 minutes away and I don’t have insurrance.
    I realize that this could be a serious problem if it gets worse but I want to know what could be causing it. Obviously I am not looking for the right answer but just a few ideas of what could be going on. If anyone could help I would much appreciate it.
