10 medical reasons why you can’t sleep

Headache pain can keep you from falling asleep and even wake you up. “As many sufferers know, it’s tough to stop that runaway migraine train once it gets moving, let alone try to get a good night’s sleep,” says neurologist, Dr Vernon Williams. But if you can’t sleep, staying up might just make it worse. “Not getting enough sleep, and sometimes getting too much, can trigger a migraine,” he adds. Dr Williams suggests that staying hydrated, eating a balanced and nutritious diet, and staying active, which helps reduce the onset of migraines, are among the daily habits that can help you sleep better.
