Sleep Migraines?

Sleep migraines are migraines that occur during or soon after waking up from sleep. The symptoms of sleep migraines are similar to regular migraines, such as a severe headache, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound.

Sleep migraines are typically caused by changes in the brain that occur during sleep. These changes can include increases in activity in the trigeminal nerve, which is responsible for sensation in the face. They can also be caused by changes in the levels of serotonin and other neurotransmitters in the brain.

Sleep migraines can be treated with a variety of medications, including pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and anti-epileptic drugs. Lifestyle changes, such as avoiding certain triggers and maintaining a healthy sleep schedule, can also help to reduce the risk of sleep migraines.
