Abstract in brief

  • The relationship between sleep disorders and migraine is complex, involving bidirectional influences where poor sleep can trigger migraines, and sleep may also help alleviate them, suggesting a possible common underlying cause.
  • Recent research indicates that specific sleep issues like insomnia, sleep apnea, parasomnias, and REM sleep disorders are linked to migraines, with brainstem and cortical networks playing a key role in this connection.
  • Advances in neuroscience, such as understanding the role of the hypothalamus, neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, and the glymphatic system, support the idea that migraine and sleep problems may share a common pathophysiological mechanism.]

Lo que sí parece evidente es que resulta fundamental mejorar la calidad del sueño. Para ello, consumir en rangos adecuados sustancias como triptófano o magnesio puede ser clave.

Les migraineux rapportent également très régulièrement de l’insomnie, en plus de l’hypersomnolence diurne. Un mauvais sommeil ou un changement d’habitude de sommeil est d’ailleurs souvent rapporté comme facteur déclenchant. https://t.co/K8WBvpqk6O
