The bottom line
If you have morning migraine attacks, work to understand what might be triggering them. Dehydration, poor sleep hygiene, disrupted sleep, and medication withdrawal could all be part of what’s causing you to wake up with a migraine attack.
Sleeping 8 to 10 hours per night, drinking plenty of water, and avoiding excessive alcohol consumption might contribute to fewer migraine attacks.
Researchers don’t yet have a cure for migraine, but they’re learning better methods of treatment and how to help people with this condition be proactive about symptoms.
Speak to your doctor if you’re frequently waking up with migraine attacks. The two of you can make a treatment plan that works for you.
