    101 Tips For Preventing Headaches (36-49)

    36.

    Try to obtain a wonderful night’s sleep. A wonderful night’s sleep is very necessary to keep away headaches.

    "Sleep is one of the the bulk basic and universal activities in which we all engage. Yet, getting to sleep, staying asleep, and waking refreshed can be highly elusive to the bulk of us some of the time, and a lot of us all of the time.”

    The National Sleep Foundation reports (2002) that America is on the verge of a poor sleep epidemic, characterized by the following eye-opening statistics:

    § 64% of American adults obtain less than the eight hours of sleep that experts advocate is needed to maintain optimal physical, mental, and emotional health.

    § One-third of the US population says they obtain less sleep now than they did five years ago

    § One-half of Americans have experienced insomnia (sleeplessness)

    § Drowsiness due to a lack of a proper night of sleep interferes with the everyday activities of 37 percent of all adults.


    You need peace and quiet to get ample sleep and so you should take care to observe that there are no physical disturbances. Turn the ring tone of your telephone to the lowest possible volume. Do not worry about necessary calls; if the calls are so important, then the caller will call back later when you have turned up the volume.

    Try to cut out other disturbances by wearing ear muffs or eye blinds. Do not read in bed before you sleep, in all possibility you will drift off to sleep with the lights on and after sometime the same light will wake you up.

    37.

    Do not oversleep. Oversleeping is just as bad as not getting ample sleep. If you sleep too much or for too long you will wake up with a very woozy feeling and that will the bulk likely turn into a headache. Our body tells us when it has had ample sleep. Listen to the cue and obtain up, do not succumb to the temptation to just lay in bed.

    38.

    Try to obtain at least eight hours of sleep every night. Studies have featured that this is the requirement for the bulk healthy adults. Examine your everyday schedule to observe how you could rearrange your day to ensure the right amount of sleep. Try to cut out television and other non-necessary activities.

    39.

    Stay away from sedatives. Sedatives are not a solution to your sleep problems. Many of them are addictive and their medicine will ultimately stop working for you.

    Sedatives also influence the time that you wake up. You might obtain a wonderful night’s sleep when you take sedatives, but the chances are rare that you will wake up refreshed.

    40.

    Each time you obtain a headache do not reach for your aspirin. Some headaches go by themselves. Do not make you body dependent on aspirin.

    41.

    Try massaging your temples. Massaging your temples gently stirs up the circulation of blood and relaxes the muscles of the forehead and temples. This itself soothes a person and provide respite from a headache.


    42.

    Touch therapy is a new process that is just becoming obtainable to cure headaches. A lot of research is going on this area and even now experts have not been able to identify how touch therapy can aid in healing. The best possible explanation is that our bodies are in fact tuned to react to the touches of others.

    When we were babies our mother’s touch was probably the the bulk reassuring thing in the world. Actually experts are baffled by the technique new born babies are able to distinguish between a mother’s touch and the touch of a stranger.

    As we grow older we delight in the encouraging pats and caresses of our parents and teachers. Even in our social life there is many of touching going on. That is perhaps why people use the hand shake as an exchange of warmth.

    So when a person is sick and miserable, the touch of another person especially if it's a person who really cares for you could relieve you of your pain.

    The only thing that the person has to do is to be gentle. He or she should stop when the patient has had enough.




    43.

    Try massaging certain key points of your body like the nape of your neck, the shoulder and neck muscles and the muscles at the web between your thumb and the rest of your fingers.

    The entire nervous system, the blood vessels, the skeletal and muscular systems are all interconnected. So if you could identify certain nodal points of the body and apply the right pressure there, you could indeed get respite from a headache.

    This is the fundamental philosophy of the principle of acupressure. Just be careful to apply the right amount of pressure.

    44.

    Do not wash your head in hot water. It can trigger off many of vascular modifications that can do more harm than good. So though a hot bath may be stimulating to your body it's not the best thing that you could give your head.

    Take a steam bath if you want to but try to keep your head above the steamy fumes. Cold water is best for your head so keep it that way. And mind you, by cold water we are not referring to chilled water.



    45.

    Heady fragrances of some perfumes and room fresheners can give you a headache. This need not be something that you have used on your own body. It can be a perfume that your neighbor has used. So if you sit next to person and feel that your head it getting woozy, try to move to a harmless distance.

    46.

    Incense smoke is not wonderful for you. Incense smoke contains many of alkaloids and the inhalation of these can spark of many of modifications in the internal mechanism, do not take the risk.

    47.

    Too much noise is bad for you. Actually sound pollution is one of the causes for headaches to become so prevalent.

    Contrary to in favor belief, sound pollution is not cause just by machines and automobiles. I do not want to argue with the fact that machines and automobiles cause many of sound. A journey down the street during the rush hour is ample to give any body a headache. But apart from that blaring music too does many of harm.

    Take care to lower the volume if you want to listen to music. Loud music is not really wonderful for you. And if you want to play music in order to soothe your nerves and instead you're playing loud music, it will have just the opposite effect. Your blood pressure will actually go up and your adrenalin levels too will increase.

    The best thing that you could do is stay away from all sources of loud noise and that includes noisy kids as well.

    48.

    Plug your ears if you're moving into a loud sound zone. Use ear plugs, ear muffs or thick wads of cotton. Most grocery stores and convenience stores carry sound-reducing and sound-blocking earplugs, a lot of which are not too noticeable.
