Travel and migraine diary: keep time zones visible
Travel can make a diary hard to read when local times change. Record the local date and time zone so symptoms, sleep and medication remain understandable after the trip.

How to use this worksheet
- Label each entry with local time and time zone.
- Record sleep and meal changes as context, not established causes.
- Note the questions you need answered before the next journey.
Keep a note of the original time zone rather than silently converting uncertain times. This worksheet does not advise how to change medication timing when travelling; ask a pharmacist or clinician.
