To prevent tension headaches, try one or more of these tips:
Reduce sensory inputs. Take a five minute break every hour or two and close your eyes. It helps to give your eyes a rest, especially after a long time working at the computer or reading.
Drink plenty of fluids. Don�t forget to drink fluids, especially water, to avoid dehydration which may contribute to headaches.
Eat something. Make sure you are eating regularly; do not skip meals. Low blood sugar due to skipping breakfast or lunch is a common cause of headaches.
Take a nap. Short 20-minute rest breaks or naps often re-charge your energy and may help prevent a late afternoon tension headache. However, avoid naps if you have trouble sleeping through the night.
