Let’s talk about the most obvious culprit: your pillow. Is it a lumpy marshmallow? A brick in disguise? That thing might be holding a grudge against your neck.
If your neck is twisted like a pretzel all night, you’ll wake up with a tension headache. It’s not a mystery—it’s physics. And your spine is not amused.
Try this: ditch the ancient pillow. Buy one that actually supports your head, not just your hopes and dreams. Your neck will thank you, probably with a gentle sigh instead of a migraine.
Dehydration: The Sneaky Thief
Did you have a glass of water before bed? Be honest. No? That’s your problem right there. Your brain is basically a raisin by morning.
Sleep is a long, dry marathon. You’re breathing, sweating, and losing fluids. If you didn’t hydrate, your brain shrinks a tiny bit—and that tug on your skull lining is the headache.
Solution? Drink a big glass of water before you hit the hay. Keep one on your nightstand. It’s the cheapest, most boring cure, but it works.
