Make sure you take regular breaks from your desk, even if it is just to get a glass of water.

For more serious problems with your posture, you could consider seeing a physiotherapist or Alexander technique practitioner.

Smell a rat

Certain smells or particularly heavy fragrances can trigger a headache or migraine. 

If you start suffering shortly after doing housework, wearing a certain perfume or washing your hair, it could be the scent that is the problem.

Avoid strong perfumes and use fragrance-free products as much as possible. Ensure that you have a good flow of air in a room, using a fan if you can’t open the windows.

Sleep well

Burning the candle at both ends, doesn’t just leave you a bit groggy, it can cause a headache or migraine attack. But it’s not just too little sleep that can be the problem, too much sleep also breaks a routine.

Try maintaining a regular sleeping pattern, even at weekends. If you have trouble with sleeping, avoid caffeine or exercising just before going to bed and try some simply relaxation techniques, such as conscious deep breathing.

Eye strain can commonly cause headaches, particularly if you spend a long time looking at computer screens. Other symptoms also include eye discomfort, headaches, itchy eyes and difficulty in focusing.

Make sure you regularly get your eyes tested and take regular breaks from computer screens. While thinking, try looking into the distance or out of a window.
