Sleep
Poor sleep is one of the most consistently reported migraine triggers. Both too little and too much sleep can push your risk up. Sleep stage disturbances and low efficiency matter even more than total hours for many people.
Every metric feeds into your risk score and correlation engine. The more data, the sharper the picture. Most of it requires zero effort on your part. Here is everything MigraineMe tracks, why each one matters for migraine, and where the data comes from.

HRV and recovery scores show how well your body is coping. A sustained drop in HRV often precedes a migraine attack by 12 to 48 hours, which is why MigraineMe weighs it heavily in the risk gauge.
Barometric pressure drops are a top trigger. Heat and humidity matter for some. UV and pollen matter for sensitised people. MigraineMe pulls all of these from your location so weather logging is effortless.
Exercise can trigger migraines for some and prevent them for others. The correlation engine learns which side of that line you are on by cross-referencing workout intensity with attack timing.
Caffeine and alcohol are well-known triggers. So is dehydration. Tyramine-rich foods (aged cheese, cured meat, red wine) catch many people out. MigraineMe lets you log all of these quickly or by voice.
Menstrual migraine is a real category. Oestrogen drops in the days before menstruation push migraine risk higher for many women. Tracking phase exposes the link clearly.
Long screen time, harsh ambient light and noisy environments are common triggers for visually sensitive migraine. Your phone tracks these in the background so they show up in your correlations.
