Migraine and sleep are strongly interconnected, study finds

These findings come from the largest nationwide Polish study, involving more than 5,300 adults and conducted by a team of Wrocław researchers led by Marta Waliszewska-Prosół, MD, Ph.D. The researchers analyzed data from 5,311 people, including 1,523 with migraine, 2,366 with tension-type headache and 209 with an unclassified headache.
