Poll results – Trouble Sleeping?
The results are in. Those of us with migraine and/or chronic headache and/or cluster do, in most cases, also have trouble sleeping.

At 82%, it was an overwhelming majority of poll respondents that said they had trouble getting a normal night’s sleep. Although it’s by no means a universal problem, it’s very common. And not just during an attack.
This certainly fits with what we’ve heard before. Migraine, for example, has been linked to other conditions such as sleep apnea (sleep apnoea). Magnesium, a common supplement for migraine sufferers, is used by the body’s sleep cycles.
This is an even greater problem for many with migraine and headache because sleep is exactly what they need to end an attack or avoid future attacks.
