Keywords:

Abstract
Background Headaches and sleep disorders may influenceacademic performances, personality, memory, and interpersonal
relationships. Migraine is the most common headache type seen in
adolescents. Although headaches and sleep disorders are believed
to be related, there has been little study in this area.
Objectives To assess the relationship between migraine and
sleep disorders in adolescents and compare different types of
sleep disorders found in adolescents with migraine vs. healthy
adolescents.
Methods We conducted a cross sectional study in December 2009
on students of three junior high schools in the Secanggang District,
Langkat Regency, North Sumatera. We included adolescents aged
12 to 17 years who suffered from migraines, as defined by the
International Cftissificaticm of Headache Disorders, 2nd edition criteria
(ICHD-II), and h ealthy adolescents who did not experien ce
migraines as the control group. Parents filled questionnaires on
their child's sleep patterns for one week.
Results A total of 100 adolescents were enrolled in the study,
consisted of 50 adolescents in the migraine group and the others
50 in the control group. There was a significant difference in the
incidence of sleep disorders between the two groups (76% and
30%, in the case and control groups, respectively; P= 0.0001).
Moreover, significant differences were also found in the prevalence
of different sleeping disorder types between the case and control
groups, i.e. insomnia (62% and 30%, respectively; P= 0.003), sleep
apnea (56% and 16%, respectively; P= 0.0001), restlessness (56%
and 18%, respectively; P= 0.0001) , parasomnia (76% and 10%,
respectively; P= 0.0001), narcolepsy (42% and 16%, respectively;
P= 0.008), and excessive daytime sleepiness (50% and 26%,
respectively; P= 0.023).
Conclusions Migraine in adolescents is significantly associated
with sleep disorders. Parasomnia is the most common type of
sleeping disorder observed in adolescents with migraines in our
study.
