Better Sleep Lowers Migraine Risk: New Study Insights

Research Summary

Researchers discovered that better sleep quality is linked to a lower risk of developing migraines. In a study involving 309,475 participants from the UK Biobank, scientists analyzed various sleep factors, including chronotype, sleep duration, insomnia, snoring, and excessive daytime sleepiness, and their impact on migraine incidence over a median of 13.6 years. The results showed that higher sleep scores, indicating better sleep quality, correlated with a decreased risk of new-onset migraines. Additionally, adequate sleep duration and the absence of insomnia significantly reduced migraine risk. The study also identified dyslipidemia as a mediator in the sleep-migraine relationship, with a 3.28% mediation effect.
