Sensitivity to light, also known as photophobia, is one of the most common migraine symptoms.
Now, Mayo Clinic researchers and collaborators report that both the brightness and color spectrum of indoor white light may affect how uncomfortable light feels for people with migraine.

#Spurs coach Mitch Johnson on Stephon Castle, who finished scoreless tonight after playing despite dealing with a migraine:
βA lot of people wouldnβt have went into work if they were feeling like Steph Castle. Sometimes, in this sport, it doesnβt get enough attention.
βSteph Castle clocked in for work tonight and we needed every second of it. He probably shouldnβt have.β #PorVida

If you have a tension headache, place a heating pad on your neck or the back of your head. If you have a sinus headache, hold a warm cloth to the area that hurts. A warm shower might also do the trick. Headaches happen. But there are many simple things you can do to ease the pain or keep it from getting worse. Try these tips, and get to feeling better fast. https://t.co/ylahgBGian

Sleep isn't just on or off, is it? Geneva researchers found gentle rocking, ~1 sway per 4 sec, sped up falling asleep, a possible reason I rock my feet at night. 25 years after a brain injury:

The brain can wake up in sections, like circuits on a fuse box. π‘ Across 84 parasomnia episodes, 256-electrode caps showed sensory and movement areas at the back of the brain partly waking. Frontal areas for judgement and emotional control stayed asleep. π§ #Neuroscience

If 2-5am thoughts aren't good data, a calm exit plan helps. Mine: slowly rocking my feet, as Geneva's rocking studies suggest may ease sleep onset (a possible explanation). 25 years after my brain injury:

Ross Edgley and I discuss how to endure and thrive while doing hard work over long periods of time. Tool 1: Donβt believe your thoughts at certain times of the circadian cycle. They are not good data. For most (not all), 2-5am is the danger zone.

Dim evenings & dark bedrooms, great advice, Rhonda. My free add-on: rocking my feet slowly at bedtime, inspired by Geneva rocking research (a possible explanation, not proof). My 25-year chapter:

More light at night was associated with subtle differences in the heartβs structure and ability to contract, even in adults without diagnosed cardiovascular disease.
Compared with no nighttime exposure, high exposure (about 34 minutes per night) was associated with thicker walls and greater muscle mass in the heartβs main pumping chamber, along with poorer measures of contraction.
High exposure was also associated with a 15-33% higher risk of heart failure, heart attack, stroke, Afib, and cardiovascular death in a larger follow-up analysis.
Light is a biological signal, and evening light can suppress melatonin and shift our circadian clocks later, affecting systems that regulate sleep and cardiovascular function.
Iβve previously shared how I programmed my home lighting to turn red in the evening and used blackout curtains in our bedrooms to support sleep.
So to me, this study is yet another reason to take nighttime light seriously. Bright days, dim evenings, and dark bedrooms are practical ways to support our circadian rhythms (and our heart health!)
