Hi
I appreciate that you reach out for your concern.
Whatever information you have given according to it I can say generally Migraine is psychosomatic disorder. It happens when you are stressed out. Migraine, stress and sleep are interrelated.
6-7hrs sleep is good enough to get up fresh in the morning..... practice sleep hygiene for quality sleep
Sleep at fixed time n fixed place. Sleep place should be clean dimly lighted n used only for sleep purpose
Start some exercise even 30min walk can do

Belief system plays as a mind game.. Yes, if you can change the opinion about the slepp pattern, you might win over migraine issues..
It's always the quality of sleep determines the freshness not the number of hours..
