Objective: Migraine and sleep disorders are common health problems in the community and cause loss of labor. There are studies showing that there is a relationship between migraine and sleep quality and these two conditions worsen each other. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between migraine and sleep quality. Methods: This is a case-control type cross-sectional study consisting of a total of 454 participants, included migraine patients, patients with non-migraine headaches and patients without headache complaint admitted to Family Medicine outpatient clinics between October 2017 and March 2018. Sociodemographic data form, Identity Migraine test, International Headache Society diagnostic criteria questionnaire, Pittsburgh sleep quality scale (PSQI) and Epworth day sleepiness scale (Epw) were applied to the participants by face to face interviews. Results: The total PSQI score was 6.5 ± 3.1, and significantly different between the groups. Patients with diagnosis of migraine had a higher PSQI score and poor sleep quality rate than the control groups. There was no correlation between the frequency of migraine attacks and PSQI scores. Extreme sleepiness in day time for the migraine group (30.7%) was higher than the control groups and there was no correlation between the frequency of migraine attacks and Epw scores. Conclusions: Poor sleep quality and daytime sleepiness rates in migraine patients were higher than those with non-migraine headache patients and patients without headache complaints. This may be due to the fact that migraine is a specific problem affecting sleep or the frequency and severity of headache in the migraine patients are greater than that of the non-migraine headache patients and headache-free participants.
