Q. I get headaches every weekend (caffeine withdrawal).

A.

It's highly likely that this is a "caffeine withdrawal headache," which occurs when your blood vessels dilate because you consume coffee during the week but stop on weekends. Alternatively, it could also be caused by the relaxation (vasodilation) of your blood vessels as the tension from your weekdays eases on the weekend.

📝 Detailed Answer

뇌가 카페인을 달라고 시위하는 것입니다.

  • 해결: 커피를 한 잔 마시면 낫습니다. 하지만 장기적으로는 평일 섭취량을 줄여야 합니다.
  • 수면: 주말에 너무 늦잠을 자도 생체 리듬이 깨져 두통이 올 수 있습니다.
💡 줄이기

갑자기 끊으면 힘들니, 하루 3잔 -> 2잔 -> 1잔으로 서서히 줄여나가세요.
