Can you get a migraine while sleeping?

Oh, waking up with a migraine is the worst feeling ever! 😴 It often happens during the REM stage of sleep, or if you are dehydrated before bed. Try drinking a small glass of water before sleeping!

I used to wake up with bad headaches, and my doctor suggested getting my thyroid panel checked. Hormonal imbalances can disrupt sleep and trigger migraines. Please get your routine blood tests done to see if something else is causing this.
