What lifestyle factors may affect migraine frequency?
Short answer
Sleep, meal timing, hydration, physical activity, stress load, and screen use are among the most impactful lifestyle factors on migraine frequency. None of them are a cure — but each shifts the threshold.
More detail
Different patients respond differently to different levers. Some see the biggest gains from stabilizing sleep, others from meal timing, others from managing sensory load. Tracking patterns for one to two weeks usually shows where to focus first.
These adjustments work alongside medical management, not instead of it.
