- Get plenty of sleep, and learn to relax. Some headaches come from tiredness and stress.

- Keep a list of when you get headaches. Also write down what you think might be causing them.
- Avoid food or drinks that seem to trigger headaches. For example, these foods often cause problems: alcohol, caffeine, bananas, chocolate, cheese, nuts, and artificial sweeteners (like Nutrasweet).
