Migraine triggers can be a little tricky and stressful. In an attempt aimed at managing migraines, we should understand migraine triggers first. It is very complex task, thanks to a research, it has come to our knowledge what migraine triggers are.

In the new study, more than 50 percent of people plagued by migraines with aura know of at least one stimulus that always or often triggers their attacks. Still just 10 people who experienced migraines with aura developed a migraine after being exposed to one lone trigger.

According to MD, director of the University of Pittsburgh Headache Center, chief of the headache division, Robert Kaniecki, you might start looking at your triggers as individual risk factors for bringing on a migraine. According Robert Kaniecki, assistant professor of neurology, you should figure out what your migraine threshold is — what combination of those aggravating circumstances it takes to produce a migraine attack for you.

Sleep pattern has been identified as a migraine trigger. Many people find that sleeping in or dozing in the mornings can trigger migraine and some found that sleepless nights, late nights, over-tiredness can be a migraine trigger too.
