THE HEADACHE AND SLEEP DIARY Mario F P Peres, MD, PhD Instituto Israelita de Ensino e Pesquisa Albert Einstein. São Paulo Headache Center H082 View this poster at www.cefaleias.com.br Background. Headaches and sleep disorders are related in several ways. Sleep disorders can cause headaches, and headaches can cause sleep disruption. Headaches and sleep disorders may be part of the same syndrome or have a common secondary cause. Collecting prospective data is critical for the management of both disorders. A combined headache and sleep diary would ideally be the best tool for those patients. Objectives. To propose a headache and sleep diary for clinical practice and reasearch. Methods/Results. Sleep variables were inserted into a headache diary model. Columns containing date, hours (24 columns, one for each hour), medication, total sleep time, time to sleep onset, are crossed with rows (one for each day). Patients are instructed to fill out the hour column with a x to xxxxx symbol, according to the headache intensity. Time patient goes to bed, fall asleep, and awakes are marked in the specific hour column (00:00hs format). Conclusion. The headache and sleep diary is an excellent tool for following up patients with headache and sleep disorders. It can also be used for clinical trials looking at the effect of sleep medications in headaches, and headache preventives in sleep variables.
