Headache is one of the most common health problems in the society and negatively affects the quality of life of individuals. Increasing complaints of headache in recent years can be associated with many physiological and psychological factors. Sleep disturbances are one of these factors. Inadequate or non-restful sleep can interfere with the normal course of physical, mental, social and emotional functions. Impaired sleep quality interferes with the body\'s process of repairing and regenerating itself, which can lead to more serious health problems in the long term. Secondly, headaches can also lead to neurophysiological changes such as central sensitization. Central sensitization causes the nervous system to become hypersensitive, lowering the pain threshold and increasing pain perception. Finally, headache can have psychological effects by increasing levels of depression, anxiety and stress. This study aimed to determine the effects of headache on sleep disturbances, central sensitization, depression, anxiety and stress.
