Is there a connection between sleep paralysis and migraines?

I was thinking about something the other day. And now i've found myself curious enough about those thoughts that i decided come on here to see what the outcome would be. It will be interesting to say the least, if enough people will engage.

How many of you that suffer from sleep paralysis have migraines as well? If so, do you ever have sleep paralysis during a migraine episode, or are they typically seperated from one another?

I am asking for answers from anyone that gets sleep paralysis, if you dont suffer from migraines, than just answer stating so as well.

Do you tend to see auras with your migraines, are they severe that you absolutely have to lay down in the dark until they're gone, are you on any treatment from a Dr?

If it comes to be that there is a connection, would then those 2 connections also be connected to use of perscribed migraine medicine. Or will i find that paralysis still happens to most people who get migraines reguardless of whether they take medication or not.

I thank anyone that takes time to answer. This is what happens when i start thinking about things. They snowball into many other questions.

I don’t suffer from migraines. I’ve had SP since I was a child.

I get bad migraines but I stopped getting them after getting good sleep thos past years so I think if your a parent or just having bad sleep diets then i think you will move on from it once you start getting good sleep
