As a social scientist -I'm social, and I'm a scientist- I have many sets of questions that I ask different sets of people on a daily, weekly and sometimes, when I see a trend, monthly and, like this past winter, even seasonally!
All last winter I was asking Starbucks employees: Have you been experiencing migraines since beginning work here.
Usually other questions come with this one.
Stuff like: have you ever worked in retail/indoors before?
Lots of times, the answer was, no, this is my first job ever out of high school.
See, I already pretty much knew that if they were under say, 25, and just started working there, that they were going to be having sleep disruption as well as migraines.
And so, I can answer this question with one practice for you that will prevent migraines that many are experiencing these days when they never did, even a short time ago.
Next time you toto Starbucks...look up above the cash register.
Yep, up above the barista.
See those LED clusters? The ones pointed directly at them all day as they work there?
Yeah, get those this out of your life.
They are a main cause of the modern migraine.
Your phone and computer,tv, device of any kind, puts out the same type of light.
Getting a pair of blue blocking lenses for your eyes will be a start to your migraine free life.
Especially if you work in a super LED environment like Starbucks..
No wonder it takes 90 days for a new barista there to learn how to use the coffee machine. Yes, that's true at some locations.
