What to do if you have a headache after sleeping for too long

Sleeping is an important way for our body to get sufficient rest. Sufficient sleep can give us better energy. However, it is not good to sleep too long. It will be counterproductive and cause some uncomfortable symptoms. Headache is the most common one. Everyone should be familiar with this feeling. It is very uncomfortable. So, what should you do if you have a headache after sleeping for a long time? Let’s look at the solution below.

First of all, whether you get a headache after sleeping for a long time depends on the quality of your sleep. If you are in a deep and comfortable sleep throughout the whole sleep process, you will be more energetic when you wake up normally, and you will not stay in bed, so the possibility of a headache will be relatively small. And reasonable sleep depends on two points: going to bed early and getting up early. If you go to bed early, it is recommended to fall asleep before 11:30 pm. And when you go to sleep, you can relax your whole body by taking deep breaths.

Don’t stay in bed late: People often use the power of alarm clocks to get up early. In winter, you will feel very refreshed if you can get up before 7 o’clock. The alarm clock is indeed an effective way to wake up, but because people like to use the sleep function of the alarm clock, they don't want to get up and stay in bed after waking up, and only get up in a daze after the alarm clock goes off several times. Staying in bed like this will make you feel groggy when you wake up, and your brain will not receive a clear instruction as to whether you want to sleep or wake up. So if you sleep in, set the alarm later and then it’s best to get up when the alarm wakes you up. In winter, when it is cold, people crave the warmth of bed and are prone to dizziness if they take too long to get up.

Rinse your face with cold water. If you always feel groggy and lack energy after getting up, it is best to wash your face with cold water. Stimulate it with cold water and you will feel much more energetic.

Scalp massage, press the temple with your thumb, then gently massage the scalp with four fingers, let yourself relax and it will be very comfortable (don't be so comfortable that you go to sleep again)

Make a cup of something fragrant to refresh yourself. Fragrant things have the effect of invigorating the spirit. In the morning, you can make food such as cereal or milk, and the smell will let your brain know that it is time to wake up and have breakfast.

Take a walk. In fact, only when you get up early will you understand that the morning is very refreshing. As long as the weather is good, you can start taking a walk after washing up and having breakfast, and then you will feel much better. You can also drink a glass of water before taking a walk, which will make you more comfortable.
