I have suffered with migraines for 12 years and get at least 1 per week. Ranges from severe bed bound and being sick with an aura before hand, to just mild discomfort (got used to them for the most part). I have been on 3 or 4 triptans and then given cocodamol as a pain killer, despite them being a cause of headaches but they are the only thing to actually help the pain (sometimes).
I saw a head specialist who said his research was into sleep patterns, but despite sleeping earlier, I still get these migraines. I have been tracking my sleep on my smart watch which seems to show I get less sleep than I thought and only have a lot of light sleep, with limited deep and REM sleep. Do you think my sleep could be worth looking into further?
