Mariah McKenna, who grew up just North of San Francisco, spent the last few years abroad in Amsterdam, with a brief residence in NYC before recently returning to her West Coast roots. Once a preschool teacher, she left to pursue her love of reading and writing with a degree in English from UC Berkeley. She currently resides with her husband and two sons in the city of Santa Monica.

Home sweet home, the place where you can put up your feet, relax, and...get a headache? Even those who aren’t especially prone to pain can be susceptible to the triggers that hole up in your house.

Thankfully, you (and your head) don’t have to be held hostage: "You can considerably cut down on the number of headaches you get by controlling factors such as the lighting and smells," says neurologist Brian Grosberg, MD.

Here, four simple ways to turn your abode into a headache-free zone.

My husband goes through the house opening blinds in the morning, letting the light in. If I'm going to be home, I go through the house closing at least half of them. One of my migraine triggers is too much direct light. On migraine days, he closes all of the blinds and puts up blackout curtains in the bedroom (otherwise we don't have curtains because of my dust allergy).
