A study in Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain found that teens with migraines who start school before 8:30 a.m. had an average of 7.1 headache days a month after adjusting for risk factors such as use of migraine medication, homework volume, gender, skipping breakfast and sleep loss, compared with 5.8 headache days among those who start school later in the morning. The findings are based on data involving over 1,000 high-school students.
