Possible causes of morning headaches:

  • Poor sleeping posture: Incorrect posture while sleeping can cause tension in the neck and shoulders, which can trigger headaches.
  • Lack of sleep: Insufficient or poor quality sleep increases the risk of headaches.
  • Teeth grinding (bruxism): Unconscious teeth grinding or clenching during sleep can lead to muscle tension in the jaw and headaches.
  • Sleep Apnea: In sleep apnea, breathing is repeatedly interrupted during sleep, which can cause headaches and fatigue in the morning.
  • Dehydration: During the night you lose fluids, and if you already go to bed slightly dehydrated, this can cause headaches.
  • Caffeine withdrawal: If you drink coffee regularly and miss your morning caffeine, it can result in headaches.
  • Stress and anxiety: Mental tension can lead to tension headaches, which can also persist in the morning.

What can you do to relieve morning headaches?

  • Improve your sleeping posture: Make sure you have a good supportive pillow and mattress that keeps your spine in a natural position.
  • Hydrate: Drink plenty of water during the day and before bedtime to prevent dehydration.
  • Relax before bedtime: Try relaxation exercises, meditation, or breathing techniques to release stress.
  • Reduce caffeine intake: Phase out caffeine if you find that a lack of it causes headaches in the morning.
  • Sleep regularly: Maintain a consistent sleep schedule to get your body into a healthy rhythm.
  • Addressing teeth grinding: Use a bit (available through the dentist) to reduce tension in the jaw muscles.
