Mindful of Motion and Sleep Well
People with tension headaches are more likely to experience motion sickness. Experts recommend sitting in front of a car or bus to avoid experiencing motion sickness while traveling. Sitting close to a window seat on trains and flights, staying hydrated, and talking to a doctor about if you should take motion sickness will also help prevent motion sickness [4].
Having an irregular sleep pattern will make you more susceptible to tension headaches. It is important to make a good effort to maintain a healthy sleeping pattern, even when you are traveling. Experts recommend going to bed at the same time every night, to get at least 8 hours sleep every night. You should also avoid sleeping during the day. Melatonin [5] can be used as a preventive measure if jet lag and sleep disruption is likely to occur.
