Inconsistent sleep patterns can cause stress, fatigue, and anxiety, all common causes of headaches. If you think you’re not sleeping well, try changing your pillow, sleep positions, or the side of the bed you occupy!
Start tracking
A key way to prevent headaches is to discover what factors affect you.
Keep a record of when headaches occur and what happened in the hours leading up to the onset. Some important questions to consider when exploring ways to prevent a headache include:
- Did you eat? What did you have for lunch and at what time?
- Were you indoors or outdoors? Bright or fluorescent lights are a common trigger for migraines.
- Was there any strong smell, perfumes, or odors?
In cases of nighttime headaches, take NOTTS PM, which not only helps relieve pain but also aids in falling asleep.
