ByEric Parker

It is well known that lack of sleep causes headache, but taking too much sleep on a day off also causes headache. The brains of people with headaches are as normal and reliable as you like, like pretty decided things, sleep schedule is no exception. Buse recommends taking a sleep schedule similar to weekday even if it is Saturday and Sunday, so that headaches can be avoided by keeping the difference between the schedule of at least weekday and holiday within one hour. Also, it is important for your health to not cause so - called social jet lag at weekends.

ByMarsmettnn Tallahassee

Relaxation immediately after stress also causes headaches. During stress, blood vessels contracted by tension spread due to relaxation, and chemical substances that were born in the body by stress reactions enter relaxation and quiet at a time. Such changes in chemicals cause headaches of the type called "weekend headache". This is why a headache occurs on the first day of a vacation released from stressful work or on the first day of honeymoon. Actually in 2011Annual Meeting of the American Neurology AssociationAccording to Buse's research, according to a study by Mr. Buse, the chances of a change in the environment from "sad" "nervous" atmosphere to "fun" "relaxed" atmosphere rose by 20% in 12 to 24 hours And that.

Although no definitive research on the relationship between headache and weather has been reported yet, many headache patients complain of symptoms on rainy days. Weather can not be influenced, so on rainy days it is necessary to take care to avoid triggers even more.

ByJack Fussell

Fluctuations in estrogen, such as menstruation and menstruation, taking pills, pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, changing doses of oral contraceptives can also cause headaches. Also not only that, estrogen fluctuation lowers the headache threshold making it more susceptible to other triggers.

A strong odor perfume worn by work colleagues is also an incentive for migraine patients. Buse says that sensory stimuli such as strong light (sun / PC and cinema screens), strong smells (tobacco and perfumes), loud sounds and the like all cause headaches.

Caffeine contained in coffee has two kinds of working modes for headache. In other words, excessive consumption of caffeine causes headaches, while caffeine contracts blood vessels, which also has the effect of suppressing migraine due to hangover.
