Healthy Tips
When stress hits big, take a time-out. A few minutes away
from the problem can help.
Allow plenty of time. Being too busy is a big source of
stress.
Get plenty of rest and eat well. You'll be able to handle
stress better when it does come up.
Elevate your head by sleeping on a thicker pillow or
multiple pillows will help reduce your snoring.
Don't drink alcoholic beverages, take sleeping pills,
tranquilizers, or antihistamines right before going to sleep,
they will cause your muscles to relax and limit your air
passage way.
Purchase some nasal strips and put them on before going to
sleep. Nasal strips will open up your nostrils and allow more
air to come in, thus reduce snoring.
If having trouble sleeping at night, try not to nap during
the day - you will make it difficult to sleep at night. If
feeling tired, and feel as if you must nap, sleep for less than
30 minutes, early in the day.
Expose yourself to bright
light/sunlight soon after awakening to regulate your
body's natural biological clock. Likewise, try to keep your
bedroom dark while you are sleeping so that the light will not
interfere with your rest.
20 to 30 minutes of exercise every day can help you sleep,
but be sure to exercise in the morning or afternoon. Exercise
stimulates the body and aerobic activity before bedtime may
make falling asleep more difficult.
Too much, too little, or disrupted sleep is a
very common trigger of headache and Migraine.
For some people, even mild dehydration can trigger head
pain, so drinking lots of fluids is essential.
Doing your best Sherlock Holmes impersonation, investigate
your triggers. A great ways to do this is by keeping a Headache
and Migraine Diary
