“…Up to half of headache patients appear to report various sleep disturbances and a significant relationship between headache and sleep is found when approximately 75% of cases of pain occur during sleep or immediately after waking up [ 16 , 17 , 18 ]. In most cases, sleep is a reliever of migraine attacks [ 19 , 20 ]. In a study based on an arctic population, sleep was the main protective factor against migraine attack.…”

“…Moreover, some patients with headache triggered or relieved by sleep demonstrate some behaviors, which predispose them to deepening sleep disturbances [ 29 ]. Sleep problems such as sleep deprivation, oversleeping, or lack of regularity could be an important factor in the transition from an episodic to chronic form of migraine [ 19 , 25 , 30 ].…”

Migraine and sleep disorders are common chronic diseases in the general population, with significant negative social and economic impacts. The association between both of these phenomena has been observed by clinicians for years and is confirmed by many epidemiological studies. Despite this, the nature of this relationship is still not fully understood. In recent years, there has been rapid progress in understanding the common anatomical structures of and pathogenetic mechanism between sleep and migraine. Based on a literature review, the authors present the current view on this topic as well as ongoing research in this field, with reference to the key points of the biochemical and neurophysiological processes responsible for both these disorders. In the future, a better understanding of these mechanisms will significantly expand the range of treatment options.

“…Among chronic pain conditions, chronic headaches are highly prevalent comorbid conditions with sleep disorders [ 8 , 9 ]. An earlier large epidemiological study [ 10 ] showed that 18.1% of the studied population had concurrent headache and insomnia, 16.3% only had headaches, and 21.1% only had sleep disturbances.…”

“…From an anatomical point of view, there are structures where pathways of sleep and headache cross [ 15 ], including the thalamus, hypothalamus, locus coeruleus, and periaqueductal gray [ 8 , 16 , 17 , 18 ].

Nightmares in Migraine: A Focused Review

Nightmares usually occur during the sleep phase of rapid eye movement (REM) and are associated with some physical symptoms, including sweating, shortness of breath, and lower limb movements. Emotions of fear, anger, shame, and sadness may also accompany nightmares. These symptoms can occur during dreaming, upon awakening, or later when the dream experience is recollected. Nightmares may sporadically occur for everyone, but nightmare disorders are associated with features of impaired mental and physical health and require professional medical treatment. The occurrence of nightmares with several disorders has been reported in the literature, but in migraines it has only been investigated in a small number of studies. Considering the existing relationship between sleep disorders and migraine, the occurrence of nightmares in migraine can negatively affect this association and elevate the risk of depression and anxiety. This, in turn, further reduces the quality of life of affected individuals. Hence, expanding the knowledge on the link between nightmares and migraine, promoting an acceptable quantity and quality of sleep through pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions in the management of nightmares in migraine, and further scientific investigation of the biopsychosocial mechanisms underlying the link, will be highly valuable for optimal care. This focused review, therefore, gives a brief overview of the current understanding of nightmares in migraine to highlight the open questions and value of further research. The ultimate goal is to contribute to timely recognition and sufficient action to offer beneficial outcomes for affected patients.

Background and AimMigraine is a prevalent neurological disorder characterized by recurring episodes of debilitating headache accompanied by associated symptoms and sleep disorders. This study aims to investigate migraine‐associated symptoms in female migraineurs within the Syrian population and the relation between migraines and sleep issues.MethodsA questionnaire‐based cross‐sectional observational study was conducted among the Syrian population. A total of 1009 women were enrolled in this study, including women without a history of migraine (Control group) and migraineurs (Case group) who had received a diagnosis of migraine from a hospital or private clinic. Data about migraine‐related symptoms, including tingling, visual disturbances, Nausea/Vomiting, and epileptic seizures as well as sleep‐related symptoms such as interrupted sleep, frequent awakenings, insomnia, snoring, and narcolepsy were gathered. Chi‐square test was used to examine the relation between migraines and sleep issues.ResultsA total of 1009 women were enrolled in this study including 531 migraineurs and 478 healthy women. The study revealed that the most commonly experienced symptoms during migraine attacks were nausea/vomiting and visual disturbances, followed by tingling. Total Unduplicated Reach and Frequency analysis showed that visual disturbances and nausea/vomiting were the two most frequent symptoms that co‐occurred during migraine attacks. The study also demonstrated a significant relationship between snoring, insomnia, and narcolepsy with migraine (p = 0.038), with these sleep disorders being more prevalent among migraineurs.ConclusionThe findings indicate a significant association between migraines and sleep disorders, with migraineurs being at a significantly higher risk of experiencing poor sleep quality compared to healthy women. Addressing sleep disorders is crucial in managing patients with migraines. This study is the first of its kind in the Syrian population, providing valuable insights into the symptoms and sleep disorders associated with migraines in this population.
