Have you ever wondered why some people are early birds while others can barely function before noon? That’s your chronotype talking. But here’s the thing—your sleep chronotype could be doing more than dictating your morning mood. It might be influencing how often you get migraines. Speaking from my own battle with irregular sleep patterns and…
Let me tell you, I used to think my migraines had a mind of their own—until I started paying attention to my sleep. Or rather, my lack of it. You wouldn’t believe how many nights I tossed and turned, only to wake up feeling like a freight train had run through my skull. If you’re…
Sleepwalking is one of those strange nighttime phenomena that makes you wonder what your brain is really up to while you’re out cold.
