Did you know that headaches can trigger insomnia?

Dr. Michael J. Breus: Headaches and Insomnia Going Hand in Hand reports:

“It’s no surprise that one of the ways to treat a headache is to lie down and take a nap (assuming, of course, you have the luxury of napping in the middle of your day). But napping can also conflict with your nighttime sleep if it’s not planned carefully. It also appears to incite a vicious cycle: 59 percent of those in the study with tension-type headaches complained of sleep problems as a trigger of those headaches.”

What’s the solution? SleepTracks may be able to help.
