Migraines rarely come out of nowhere. Tracking severity, habits, and patterns can help you start to see what tends to come before — and what might help.
Migraines rarely appear out of the blue. Sleep, stress, hydration, screen time, food, hormones, weather — any combination can build quietly before a migraine hits.
Tracking helps you turn fuzzy memories into a clear timeline you can actually look at.
What's worth logging
Migraine and headache severity — rate intensity each day so trends become visible
Sleep quality and duration — one of the most common migraine triggers
Caffeine, alcohol, sugar — common dietary triggers worth a daily tag
Stress, busy days, conflict — lifestyle pressure often precedes attacks
Screen time and posture days — long screen sessions can build into headaches
Weather and routine changes — barometric shifts and disrupted routines matter for many people
Why pair migraines with mood
Migraines and mood are deeply linked. Low mood can make pain feel worse, and pain can drag mood down. Tracking both side-by-side lets you see how one affects the other — and which habits help both at once. See how Mooduna handles symptom + mood tracking →
What patterns may show up
Migraine days clustered around specific habits or stressful stretches
Recovery days that look different from baseline
Weekly patterns — e.g. weekend rebound headaches
Habits that consistently appear on your better days
Tracking is not a diagnosis. If migraines are frequent, severe, or new, please consult a qualified professional — your data can be a useful starting point for that conversation.
