So now it can be told. Just when we thought that the best cure for migraines was to sleep on it, studies have now revealed that it can actually aggravate it! Apparently, the common knowledge and belief we had ever since was that migraines can be cure by sleep or from pain killers.
But now, this may explain on why at times we are wondering why migraines continue to persist even if we do sleep more than 9 hours. Thus, it is best we follow the standard sleeping hours and try not to sleep more unless we can handle these migraine attacks.
Researchers at the Clinic of Neurology at University Hospital Zvezdara in Belgrade found that patients who slept for longer than nine hours had more frequent migraine attacks than those who slept less.
The findings were released at the European Headache and Migraine Trust International Congress in London on Sunday, at the start of Migraine Awareness Week.
