Headache and sleep

Headache. 2013 Sep;53(8):1358-66. doi: 10.1111/head.12178. Epub 2013 Jul 12.

Abstract

Many patients with headache disorders have coexisting sleep difficulties. As both conditions are relatively common, they could potentially be present simultaneously, even if unrelated. However, there is evidence that a comorbid association between headache and sleep disorders exists.

Keywords: insomnia; migraine; restless legs syndrome; sleep.
