3. Not enough sleep

Not getting enough sleep/quality rest (through sleep) are sure ways to have migraine. To tackle this, get hours of quality sleep everyday to help the body relax and prepare for new daily activities.

4. Caffeine

Caffeine is a major cause of migraine. A lot of people are dependent on coffee (caffeine) to power the body through stress and this can form a habit that will do the body less than more good.

Go easy on caffeine if you have constant case of migraine.
