Lifestyle
Daily habits that may reduce migraine frequency
Consistent sleep, hydration, meals, and stress management are among the most studied lifestyle levers for migraine.
Keep a steady rhythm
- Aim for consistent sleep and wake times, including weekends.
- Eat regular meals — skipped meals are a common trigger.
- Stay hydrated and track your water intake.
Manage the load
- Build in stress-relief routines; “let-down” after stress can trigger attacks too.
- Add gentle, regular movement rather than sudden intense exercise.
- Limit caffeine swings rather than quitting abruptly.
Measure what works
- Track habits alongside attacks so you can see what actually helps you.
- Give any change several weeks before judging it.
