Can shorter days trigger migraines?

They can, especially indirectly through changes in your sleep schedule. As the days get shorter, your daily routine and sleep patterns can change. An inconsistent sleep cycle can trigger migraine, so getting enough regular sleep may be especially important during seasonal changes.

If you notice more migraines as daylight decreases, try tracking your sleep and migraine days together. Keeping a consistent sleep schedule and getting enough rest may help you identify—and potentially reduce—this seasonal trigger.
