The migraine brain is sensitive to change. The goal is to stabilize your body's routines to raise your threshold for having an attack. Key Lifestyle Areas to Manage: Sleep: Keep a consistent schedule—go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep. Nutrition: Don't skip meals. Eat balanced meals at regular times to keep blood sugar stable. Stay well-hydrated by drinking water throughout the day. Stress Management: Practice daily relaxation techniques like mindfulness, deep breathing, or gentle yoga to lower your baseline stress levels. Exercise: Engage in regular, moderate exercise (like brisk walking or swimming) most days of the week. Avoid sudden, intense workouts. Environment: Manage triggers like bright lights (wear sunglasses) and strong smells. Be aware that weather changes can be a trigger. Most Important Tool: The Migraine Diary Track your sleep, meals, stress, and attacks to identify your personal triggers and see what changes are working. Final Note: These lifestyle changes are a powerful part of a treatment plan. Always work with a doctor for a complete approach that may include medication. Be patient with yourself—progress, not perfection, is the goal.
