Yes, poor sleep can indeed be a significant factor in causing more migraines. Here are some key points from my knowledge base:

- Sleep and Migraine Relationship: Poor sleep can be both a trigger and a consequence of migraines. Many people with migraines report that inadequate sleep quality is correlated with a higher frequency of migraine attacks.
- Research Findings: A 2016 study found that inadequate sleep quality is associated with more frequent and severe migraines. People with migraines often wake up during the night or early morning, which disrupts their sleep patterns.
- Impact of Sleep Disorders: The presence of a sleep disorder is linked to more frequent and severe migraines and can lead to a poorer headache prognosis.
- Managing Sleep Problems: Regular, adequate sleep can lead to fewer headaches. It's important to maintain good sleep hygiene and a consistent sleep routine to help manage migraines.

Given your current treatments (Vyepti for prevention, Ubrelvy, and butalbital combination for acute migraines), it might be beneficial to discuss your sleep issues with your healthcare provider to explore additional strategies for improving sleep and managing breakthrough migraines.
