1. Sleep position is less good.
2. Too impose themselves.
3. Often spur gear.
4. Too long in one position is the same, for example, when the computer or the microscope.

Primary headaches include:

• Headache type overstrung. Generally caused by lifestyle. According to Dr. Mursyid, the staff of the Department of Neurologi FKUI RSCM, when exposed to headache type taut, full of feeling in the head, tense from the back of the head to the back (back) and shoulder.
